The Adventure Playground Association

The Adventure Playground Association is a charity that supports unique, creative play environments where children can explore, build, and take risks safely. Unlike traditional playgrounds, these adventure playgrounds emphasize open-ended activities using accessible, often recycled materials, encouraging imagination, problem-solving, and social skills. The organization provides guidance, resources, and training to establish and maintain such spaces, promoting childhood development through playful discovery. It aims to foster safe environments that nurture resilience and independence while prioritizing supervision and safety standards. Ultimately, the Association champions the importance of adventurous play for healthy childhood growth and community engagement.
