publications
Throughout the PRAV network we have access to many and varied publications that have a specific reference to playgrounds and play experiences for children and the community. PRAV is also a regular contributor to other organisation’s publications too, to help promote the importance of play experiences.
Access to these publications is for members only. The links in the left submenu and underneath will take you to the members log in page or alternatively if you are already logged in straight to the link. For most of the files you will need to have Acrobat Reader installed which is free to download from adobe.
