Throughout history, children played in their villages and neighborhoods, especially in the streets and lanes near their homes. Playgrounds help as a developmental aid, or to imbue children with a sense of fair play and good manners. Playgrounds have educational value, improved attention in class, enhanced physical health, and reduced truancy, for poorer children with limited access to education, health services and daycare, playgrounds will support these goals of keeping children safe and out of trouble.
