Playground: Planning a Playground for the Driscoll School in Brookline, MA

摘要

Parks and playgrounds are now a part of most cities and towns. In Brookline, for example, so many are scattered throughout the town that a place to play is within a five-minute walk for almost every resident. These open areas are the town's complementto neighboring Boston's Emerald Necklace, and they provide Brookline's neighborhoods and schools with their own little jewels. One of the most heavily used playgrounds in Brookline is at the Driscoll School. Throughout the day it is filled with childrenplaying. But playgrounds, like sneakers and clothes, get old and worn out after years of use by hundreds of children, day after day after day. This is the story of what happened when Driscoll's playground needed renovation.
