A new study looking at girls' ideal school playground finds that primary school girls want big school playgrounds on which they can run around. The girls made drawings and participated in focus groups to describe their ideal school playground.

These experiences would be made possible by having a variety of features on the playground, softer surfaces, longer play time in bigger areas and playmates with similar interests.
