Playground concept that are linked to the novel:

` A small creek to cross into Terabithia

Playground design that meets the special needs of the children:
` Soft, rubbery material for flooring

` Unique & interesting seats on see-saw

` Benches for any adults supervising & tired children

` Toys are soft & rubberized

` Playground has bright attractive colours

` Playground has recreated scene of a forest with mordern playground equipment


Explanation of how the design meets the special needs of children:

` Soft, rubbery material ensures that children do not sustain injury if they fall

` See-saw seats are appealing to the eye

` Benches for use of adult supervision & for television shows

` Soft & rubberized toys minimise injury when children run around

` Bright colours are attractive and will lighten the mood of children who are aware of their predicament

` Looks like a forest to recreate the scene in Bridge to Terabithia which has a calming feel to it & mordern equipment make the place more enticing
