- Abstract in English : The author describes playgrounds with naturalistic elements and their backgrounds in Copenhagen. Children and youngsters do not like bland, risk-free playgrounds. They are longing for natural spaces, where they can meet one another - prearranged or spontaneously - and be challenged physically, psychologically and socially. They demand quality, and they don't like dirty or rundown places. Standardisation is dangerous because play becomes simplified and the child doen not have to worry about his movements.
- Comments/Notes : KEYWORDS: children, children's playgrounds, play, physical movement, safety, adventure playground. This paper is not on adventure playground but it is related to it.
