“The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.”
– G.K. Chesterton
Playgrounds are the heart of a community’s gathering place and the play zones for old and young imaginations alike. They are the spaces where children meet the outdoors, challenge their physical abilities and stretch their imaginations. Through social, physical and imaginative play, they learn about their communities and themselves. Celebrating the landscapes that communities create to nurture children’s imaginations and foster creativity, InCultureParent presents the most imaginative playgrounds around the world.

I haven’t been to any of there, but another great one is the Diana Memorial Playground in London. It’s a ship shape.
We’ve been to Clemyjontri (a hard to spell conglomeration of the funder’s kids’ names). I loved the attention to detail on the swings for special needs children and the large color blocks. The padded surface is excellent for new walkers and unsure steppers. The park is always clean, the merri-go-round is awesome, and there are bathrooms and vending machines right on the grounds.
Am a UK Primary School teacher and just wanted to say thank you for such an inspiring article – I plan to inspire my class to design their own wonderful playground and hope they are inspired by these playgrounds as I have been. Thank you.
Thanks for your comments! And wow Lou! Thanks for the kind comment. Every child deserves to have a thoughtful and inspiring teacher like you.
Great article. Thanks. Check out these guys http://grassrootsplay.com/ They’re a British company and do some really inspiring natural stuff.

Takino Park is ‘outside Tokyo’?” Really?
I guess so. It is only about 1,000 miles away (a little over 1,500km) from Tokyo. It is kind of like saying New York is “just outside of Miami”, or London is “just outside of Monaco”.
Technically you are right. The Moon is outside of Tokyo. All these playgrounds are outside Tokyo.
