Abstract

Playful Learning Landscapes is movement to maximize playful learning opportunities in public spaces that augment school curricula. Little research has captured how neighborhoods report playing, and how neighborhood play translates into playful learning. Using a unique community-based survey method, we report how low and mixed-income neighborhoods differ in unexpected ways.
