Share a playground reflection
The Playground Belonging Project is inviting adult caregivers and support people to share a short reflection as part of a research study after visiting a playground.
This project uses caregiver reflections to better understand playground visits after real use: what worked, what became difficult, where the visit felt hard or happy, and what another caregiver may want to know before visiting.
The goal is to turn grouped caregiver reflections into public playground visit information for families and design learning for people who plan, design, or care for playgrounds.
Who is this for?
This reflection is for adult caregivers or support people, age 18 or older, who visited a playground with a child, youth, or another person.
The project is especially interested in hearing from families and groups where someone has a disability, difference, sensory need, mobility need, communication need, medical complexity, or other support need. This could include:
- the child or person you came with;
- you, as the caregiver or support person;
- more than one person in your group.
Children, youth, and supported persons are not being asked to complete this reflection. The adult caregiver or support person is the person who should respond to this survey.
You do not need to explain or prove anything. Please share only what feels useful and comfortable.

This phase is currently offered in English only. This means the project will under-represent families who would prefer to respond in another language. Findings from this phase should be understood in that context. The project will not use automatic website translation or machine translation as a substitute for reviewed translated consent materials or translated questionnaires in this phase.
What participation involves?
This reflection is about one playground visit.

Playground visits can feel different depending on the day, weather, crowding, energy, support needs, or what your group needed that day. You are welcome to complete another reflection after a different visit, including a different visit to the same playground.

Please complete the reflection after the visit, not while actively supervising play.
