Outdoor play is vital for youth development.  Drawing on empirical research of two towns with the highest under age-18 population in Singapore, the playbook presents key findings on what youth do for recreation, how youth experience outdoor play spaces, and what youth aspire to have in outdoor play spaces in the context of Singapore’s high-rise, high-density, tropical urban environment. Building on these insights and relevant literature, the playbook provides a reference guide for creating recreation spaces that address youth’s needs and preferences for outdoor play and environments. Key principles and strategies are illustrated with examples.
