This article is from a month ago so you might have already seen it, but the discovery learning paper reminded me of it. It's about playgrounds and how it's important for children to be able to explore and take risks.

A family I used to babysit for went to the Adventure Playground a lot, and it's very similar to the one described in the article (no fires though!). It was really fun and I wish my parents had known about it when I was growing up!
