Unleash the potential of your schoolyard, for the children, the neighbourhood and the city as a whole.
Greening a city's schoolyards improves the city's resilience on many levels. Our greening schoolyard project offers children a hands-on educational experience that teaches them that small steps can make a better world, setting them up to become future ambassadors for greener cities.
These improved schoolyards also encourage more active play and gender mixed play, while decreasing bullying behaviour.

Space for Play has successfully addressed different challenges in their designs:
combining intense playing with strong and durable plants, integrating climate-resilience with play and education, improving behavior at special need schools, designing for schools with low budgets, re-using local materials, combining urban schoolyards and greening ambitions.
We have also supported schools to make good plans and to find funding for it.
