Abstract:
The objective of this study is to document the incidence of falls from playground equipment in the United States over time and to provide a detailed profile of the individuals injured in playground falls using several state and national databases. During the past decade, there has been a steep decline in the number of injuries treated in emergency departments caused by falls from playground equipment in the United States. Males, children between the ages of 5 to 9 years, and individuals from lower economic strata are overrepresented among those suffering an injury. Falls from monkey bars resul

Abstract:
At the turn of the 20th century, children's play came under new and heightened scrutiny by urban reformers. As conditions in US cities threatened traditional notions of order, reformers sought new ways to direct urban-social development. In this paper I explore playground reform as an institutional response that aimed to produce and promote ideal gender identities in children. Supervised summer playgrounds were established across the United States as a means of drawing children off the street and into a corrective environment. Drawing from literature published by the Playground Association of

Abstract:
People with disabilities in the United States have access to a fraction of engaging play experiences available to others due to playground design choices, minimal legal requirements, and societal acceptance of the status quo. PlayGrand Adventures, the first and largest all-abilities playground in North Texas, meets this need by providing engaging play opportunities for everyone. This qualitative case study explores and describes community engagement at PlayGrand Adventures, informed by principles of environmental reciprocity supported by Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory (1986) and Gibson’s Af

Abstract:
In the United States, certain laws restrict those convicted of sexually offending from accessing social spaces where youth congregate such as parks and playgrounds. However, empirical work to date has rarely described sexual assaults in these locations or tested the assumptions of these laws explicitly. To address these gaps in the literature, we drew on the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) to analyze offender, victim, and crime characteristics of sexual assaults that occurred at parks and playgrounds over a 5-year period (2010-2015).

Abstract:
Objectives: Parks are more widely used by older adults in East Asia than in the United States. Parks are an important community asset for healthy aging; yet, little is known about park usage and features among older adults in China. Methods: The Community Park Audit Tool and the System for Observing Play and Recreation (SOPARC) were used to assess park features, PA levels and primary activities among 40,469 older adults in Nanchang, China. Results: None of the 8 parks observed had basketball courts or baseball fields and only one had a playground. Results indicated that about half of older adu

Abstract:
Research suggests that parent–child communication is rapidly changing as a result of the massive adoption of mobile devices and their penetration into interpersonal interaction within the family. Accordingly, this study aims to develop a more nuanced understanding of the impact of mobile device use on the quality of parent–child interaction in early childhood, based on ethnographic observations of 60 families at two playgrounds in the United States. The research findings suggest that parental behavior can be classified along a continuum of high engagement, divided engagement, and disengagement

Abstract:
Watching children at play is favorite pastime for many elderlies. However, the growing safety concerns have prompted parents to become increasingly resistant to the idea of having strangers watch their children in parks and playgrounds. This creates an intergenerational gap in communication with potentially detrimental consequences for all social groups. Oral interviews were conducted and written surveys distributed that validated the hesitance of seniors, especially in the United States, to spend time at children’s playgrounds despite their finding the vicinity of children stimulating.

Abstract:
The integration of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education in the United States has been extensively researched, yielding a substantial body of scholarly work from 1990 to 2023. Internationally, two notable success stories stand out: the Exploratorium in San Francisco and the Discovery Park at Prisma in San Juan, Puerto Rico. These programs have demonstrated significant practical achievements and offer valuable models for STEAM education. Conversely, mainland China lacks comparable mature cases and systematic research in this area. This study represents the fi

During this era, which one sport scholar has characterized as the “cusp between America’s Century of Work and its Century of Play,” baseball became the acknowledged national pastime; basketball was invented; boxing exploded in popularity under new rules; football grew into a national, widely attended spectator sport; a recreation movement blossomed on the nation’s playgrounds; and sports became central to the educational curriculum.

Factors such as limited physical activities, disrupted sleep, increased screen time, and even remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated the situation. Adolescents may develop high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and diminished self-esteem if they have obesity.

Abstract:
The games of 1893 did not result in a boom in the number of women playing soccer. No clubs or competitions formed, and for the next decade there were no documented women’s games. By the early twentieth century, soccer was viewed as a less physical and safer version of football. Soon, girls and young women across the country were playing soccer at playgrounds, high schools, and colleges. The chapter traces the growth of the sport among women and documents one of the earliest intercollegiate matches played in 1910.

Since 1900, United States troops have fought in more foreign conflicts than any other nation on Earth. Most Americans supported those actions, believing that they would keep the scourge of war far from our homes. But the strategy seems to have failed—it certainly did not prevent terror attacks against the U.S. mainland. The savage Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the 11 September 2001 (9/11) attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. were not the first to inflict war damage in America’s 48 contiguous states, however—nor were they the first warlike actions to harm innocent citizens since the Civ

Along the Colorado Plateau’s high-standing Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona’s Coconino National Forest stands a small patch of big trees that matured well before Europeans came to North America.

Few places like this one still exist anywhere in the United States, even on national forest lands.
