Play area design using large play structures, was developed from the
adult perspective due to multiple factors which included adult
assumptions on the appropriateness of structures, and the historic adult
understanding of the needs of children (Kylin, 2003; Knowles-Yánez,
2005). This perception was refuted through identification of child
preference for the wilder play areas (Kylin, 2003; Moore, 1986) in
contrast to adult planners desire for design of fixed play structures.
