Quote
…in his classic Education of Man, the term “playground” is introduced by Froebel. His writings are the first to provide an extensive description of the characteristics and functions of children’s school playgrounds as prepared, organized, and supervised by adults. Although his were by no means the first play environments designed and developed by adults for or with children, they appear to be the first to be called “playgrounds.”
