New book on adventure playgrounds
A new Play Wales book by Fraser Brown called 'The Venture - A Case Study of an Adventure Playground' was launched last week.
Play Wales - 17/05/2007
It examines the long-lived success of The Venture, an Adventure Playground on one of the most deprived estates in Wales, and is based on conversations with Malcolm King (a founding member and current manager) and Ben Tawil (one of its recent playworkers). The journey begins in 1978 with a few curious children, a playleader and a fire, and continues to this day.
The book costs £7.50 (plus £1.50 p+p). To order please ring the Play Wales National Office on 029 2048 6050 or buy in the shop on the Play Wales website www.playwales.org.uk
