Green Schoolyards

Growing Green Schoolyards

Studies have shown that spending time in nature is beneficial in a variety of meaningful ways- that's why our parent company, PlayCore, has collaborated with the Children & Nature Network to help develop and promote green schoolyards.

What is a Green Schoolyard?

According to the Children & Nature Network, a Green Schoolyard is a space that not only benefits the students who attend the school, but can serve the needs of the surrounding community.

A Green Schoolyard can include:

  • Outdoor classrooms

  • Native and pollinator gardens

  • Stormwater capture

  • Traditional play equipment

  • Nature play areas

  • Edible gardens

  • Trails

  • Trees and landscape enhancement
