Kristie,
The March/April 2003 issue of ASTC Dimensions was devoted to outdoor science
parks. Ronen Mir's lead article for that issue, "Natural Attraction:
Implementing Your Science Park," is posted on the ASTC web site at
http://www.astc.org/pubs/dimensions/2003/mar-apr/index.htm.
If you can't find a copy at your museum, back issues are available; visit
www.astc.org/pubs for information.

> Hello,
>
> Our organization is looking to build a new playground with a science
> theme. As most of our visitors have children under 12, this would
> include traditional elements like slides that would appeal to little
> ones. Then there might be whisper dishes, speaking tubes, activities
> with simple machines, etc.
>
> I'm interested in hearing from people who already have these types
> of playgrounds. I'd like to know how they're used, staffed, maintained,
> and what went into the building process. I'd also be interested in
> hearing from people who build these types of exhibits (offline, since we
> can't sell through this list). Thanks in advance to anyone willing to
> share.
