Natural Playspaces – a good model to replace the plastic playground

We are fortunate to have Franklin County Metro Parks that have incorporated the Nature Play Area concept into their parks.

Our friend Leslie Strader at MORPC has forwarded a link about another model that is less of an invitation to explore the woods and more of a replacement for the traditional metal-and-plastic playground set. The photos are great. Check out the link!
