根據科學，這種遊樂場是最棒的

最好的遊戲環境能提供自由度和新穎性，讓孩童能根據自己的意願，盡情或隨興去探索。但傳統的遊樂場沒有太大的彈性——鞦韆、溜滑梯，和攀爬架實在算不上是新穎的設施。所以，我們要如何創造更好的遊戲空間？這支影片會探討有風險的遊戲在認知方面的助益，以及如何設計出能提升樂趣、自主權，以及成長發展的遊樂場。

Open-ended, unpredictable playgrounds—once built from junkyards and bombsites—help children develop better judgment, confidence, and mental health. Research shows that these spaces, which may look dangerous to modern parents, actually teach kids to manage risks and adapt to uncertainty. Classic swings and slides offer limited novelty, but high-affordance environments invite deeper learning and creativity. By embracing freedom and a dash of risk, designers can create play areas that fuel children's growth in ways traditional playgrounds cannot.

Risky Playgrounds Build Stronger, More Resilient Kids

Research shows that unconventional playgrounds packed with freedom and unpredictability help children develop better judgment, problem-solving, and confidence. Inspired by kids playing in junkyards and even former bomb sites, modern adventure spaces let children experiment, take risks, and manage uncertainty. Such environments offer far more than traditional swings and slides, nurturing agency and creativity while teaching kids to assess danger. Encouraging risky play may even lower injury rates and support lifelong mental health.
