Collaboration and Partners

Join us in advancing children’s development through playgrounds

At the World Playground Research Institute we are dedicated to enhancing children's health and development through better and more playgrounds. At the heart of our mission is the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to play on playgrounds that not only provide fun but also stimulate their growth and well-being.

We believe in making research results available, ensuring that the insights gained from research on playgrounds are accessible for a wide audience, whether you are a researcher, decision maker, designer, architect, teacher, educator or parent.
