Schoolyard Design Guide

The Schoolyard Design Guide provides a common set of concepts and images and a menu of design options for landscape architects and schoolyard committees. Illustrations of best practices are offered to jump start design and decision-making; checklists are included to ensure that a variety of issues are considered and evaluated in the context of assets, limitations and realities of the specific schoolyard site.
