National Outdoor Play Strategy

The National Outdoor Play Strategy is a plan created by governments and organizations to encourage children and youth to spend more time outdoors engaging in play and physical activities. Its goal is to improve health, well-being, and development by making outdoor play a priority in schools, communities, and public spaces. The strategy promotes access to safe, inviting environments where children can explore, socialize, and develop important skills, recognizing that outdoor play is essential for a balanced, healthy life and fostering a lifelong connection with nature.
