Resumo

Many new projects of an adventure playground have started in Japan in this couple of years. Most of them are small in scale, but are based on the community using parks and open spaces. Materials are collected with the support of the local governments. Examples will be shown in slides. The process is also facilitating communication among local people, who tend to be isolated in the urban settings. Play is the powerful key to create trustworthy relationships between adults and children in the community.
