Suggestive Design: the
process of designing playgrounds that have no specific method of play; a child’s
imagination is the determining factor.

the process of designing playgrounds that have a specific method of play that
children are supposed to follow.

limitless options for children.
Suggestive design allows for a child’s imagination to determine how he
or she is going to play with a particular component. Suggestive design spreads out components in
such a way as to not identify a clear path from one to the next. It is always up to the children how the
playgrounds should be used.
