EVALUATION CRITERIA

- One big factor that I tried to incorporate in the playground was space. Based on my observations, children were allowed to be more creative and thus have more fun simply by providing more space for them to create in.

- A wide range of activities also allows children to participate in the interest that suits them the most. This factor will not only keep the children there for longer, but it will also make them want to come back in the future.

- Parental convenience is another major issue. The trick to any successful playground is to not only attract the kids, but to attract the parents as well. By integrating an abundance of comfortable rest areas, bathrooms, and snack carts parents will be more likely to take their kids to this playground then to another that lacks these key elements.

-Safety is my greatest concern. Even though the playground has many elements of height, there is no danger to the children. Strong, cross-threaded nets will cover any perceivable danger of falling and ensure the safety of every soul in the park.

- Every aspect of the playground will be themed around the Robin Hood story. The attention to detail will inspire those who visit the park, parents and kids alike, and will ensure their return.
