A backyard playground delivers the obvious health benefits that any active lifestyle offers. Beyond that, children learn how to interact with each other and can hone their social skills when playing together on a playground. Additionally, the multitude of challenges available on a quality playground allow each child to find something they can excel at, which can raise their self-esteem. Interestingly, elementary schools that offer more vigorous playtime throughout the day produce children who consistently rank higher in assessment scores. Finally, insufficient playtime is closely linked to ADHD and behavioral issues.
