In perusing the website of the BUGA playground designer (see below), I found this lovely quote:
"It is necessary to call something your own territory, to recognize the usefulness of the area and to fill it accordingly. When children call the straggly trees next to the fenced-in playground their secret hideaway and love to play there, their order-loving parents and zealous planners should think about it."
Words to live by.
