nature playground
Wilderness play area
A nature playground is an outdoor play space built primarily from natural materials—logs, boulders, sand, water, plants—rather than manufactured plastic or metal equipment.
The design encourages unstructured, exploratory play: climbing fallen trees, balancing on stumps, digging in dirt.
The park replaced its aging swingset with a nature playground.
