Natural play areasIn response to the rise in nature deficit disorder among kids, Metro Parks created natural play areas at five parks. Kids and adults can go off-trail and interact with nature in a more direct way than usual, by climbing trees and rocks, digging in the dirt, playing in streams and generally having fun. The natural play areas range from just under 10 acres to over 40 acres, and are located at Battelle Darby Creek, Highbanks, Prairie Oaks, Sharon Woods and Three Creeks. |
