Cohousing-L Mailing List: Kids play area & structure

[cjsheehan (cjsheehan]

Here at Sonora Cohousing in Tucson, Arizona we are in the final stages of
construction.  We have a small (25' X 50') space adjacent to the kid's
room in the common house that has been designated for the outside play
space and location for a play structure.  The structure will probably be
used by all kids but mostly the under 10 set, down to 2 years old (or
younger); I have a few questions:

1.  What kind of structure does your community have?
        a.  Is it successful (kid's have lasting interest in it)?
        b.  If no, what would you have done differently?

2.  What types of outside play do the kid's of varying ages tend to do
most?
 
3..  What is your kid's room like and how is it used?
