How to Create a Low Cost High Activity Playground
The largest emerging health issue today is childhood obesity and we all share the responsibility
of finding more opportunities for children to be physically active.
Experts agree that school is a great place to start because "most children attend school
daily.
And it makes sense to utilize space that is currently available in schools today - that
being the school playgrounds.
While playground structures can cost as much as $100,000 there's a low cost alternative
called Peaceful Playgrounds.
Peaceful Playgrounds has 100 unique games and markings that can be painted on the playground
so that children have more opportunities to be involved in games and to be physically
active. If you would like to learn more about Peaceful
Playgrounds please visit our website at www.peacefulplaygrounds.com
