TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND — Young students review playground schematics in New York City. Joan Keener, deputy director of the Trust Public Land's NYC Playgrounds Program, oversees young students evaluating playground design drawings.
“We worked together with the schools to work with students to do the designs,” says Mary Alice Lee, New York City playgrounds program director of TPL. How to capture stormwater onsite that could otherwise contribute to flooding is emphasized in the class; it is not just about designing playing fields and climbing bars, says Lee.
She adds students have had to design to a budget and make accommodations for other users such as school staff and community residents who will have access to the playgrounds in off-hours. “We do things like identification workshops to determine things like what are the weeds and what are the flowers,” says Lee.
