Playground

We were set a project to research playgrounds. We partnered up and chose generational play, looking at one playground that encompasses each age group i.e babies, children, teenagers, adults and the elderly.
One park that I visited was the Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens for children aged 12 and under. It was opened in 2000 in memory of Princess Diana. It's a children's wonderland with a pirate ship and crocodiles, teepees, tree top walks, sensory and hidden paths. It's a great park that children could play in all day long. On the other hand, Mile End Park's teenage playground consisted of a few pieces of equipment and even fewer that worked.
