Playgrounds Matter

They are where children first meet the world: where they take risks, make friends, share space and imagine what could be.

Playgrounds Matter is an open platform started by Bananaz Studio. A place to look closely at play, and to give space to the projects, people and ideas that make it possible.

Open call

Bring your initiative.

Running a playground project, a campaign, a study, a protest or a small local idea? We'd like to hear about it and share it here.

We started Playgrounds Matter to share what we learn about play, and to make room for others who care about it too.
