Cover Story: Children’s perspectives are often unacknowledged in playground provision, design and evaluation. In this scoping review of interdisciplinary peer-reviewed studies, 2905 studies were screened; 51 studies were charted, and a qualitative content analysis was performed. The findings provided synthesised evidence for how play experiences relate to the combination of physical and social environmental qualities. Children reported their multi-faceted play experiences, including desire for fun, challenging, and intense motor and sensory play; the wish to self-direct their play; opportunities to play alone and with relatable social partners; and a desire for welcoming, safe, and aesthetically pleasing playgrounds. This review provides evidence that children, regardless of abilities, are knowledgeable about how environments effectively enhance play value in playgrounds. View this paper
