THE SMART PLAYGROUND

摘要

Parents in melbourne already know what studies now confirm: use of smart devices by children under the age of eight is increasing significantly across the industrialized world. As a result, childcare professionals and specialists are seeing increasing sedentary lifestyles and parents are wondering how to address the "screen time" dilemma. But now, some relief is on the way. A new playground opening at Winchester Park, Epping in Melbourne encourages kids and parents to bring their smartphone or tablet with them to the playground to help bridge the gap between screen time and outdoor playtime. The client, the City of Whittlesea, will be the first in Australia to unveil this ground-breaking new playground, with Ikonic Playgrounds overseeing the installation.
