Sammanfattning
Implementing children’s perspectives into playground management could be a way of improving play possibilities for children in the local public space and supporting sustainable development, but it requires adults’ understanding. Children’s perspectives on playground use were studied through group interviews in two Swedish towns and were also compared with the understanding among the local park workers. Children described their playground use through challenges, manipulation and place-making, something which was partly recognised by the park workers. The results indicate that children’s perspectives on playground use, particularly manipulation, should be implemented more fully into management work. Children’s participation in on-site management activities is discussed as a way of making playgrounds more adapted to children’s use and perspectives.
