After becoming inspired by spaces exposed to play in the previous post, I looked into playground designer as a career possibility. It's really insightful to see how someone journey towards a playground designer began and progressed in terms to how I could achieve similar results. The last paragraph resonates with my current work because Cynthia Gentry comments about needing the 'love of play in your heart' and to 'master the complexity of play theory and child development' which is exactly what I'm trying to gather in my research. I feel that I may be in the right direction to progress my practice into this style of career choice.
In the Comments post of Playscapes questioning, many of the comments mentioned 'Playground Ideas'. Playground Ideas is a charity to build space for children to play in deprived communities, however they have opensource designs available on their website so that anyone can do a bit of DIY and create a play space. What I did like about this organisation was that they provide opportunities for students or recent graduates for collaboration. If I were to become serious about developing a career in this profession, this seems like a real good opportunity to gather some hands-on experience in the field.
