When we are designing playgrounds the first people we should talk to are our guests, to be honest. Children know what they want to see in playgrounds and they know the best way to lay things out.

I have another question and it is related to something I have seen in my house. I have four children - one in junior infants, one in fourth class, one in sixth class and a second year student. I spent many years telling them to get offline. They were always online and I used to try to pull them off, saying they should not be spending so much time online. However, during the pandemic I completely flipped and told them they had to go online. They had to go online to talk to their friends and they had to do their schoolwork online. I was encouraging a lot of online use. Are our guests finding it hard to not be online as much as they were? Did they go online much more during the pandemic?
