Public Radio station WBUR just did a broadcast on their show Radio Boston about the trend to create "Natural Playgrounds." The concept to these playgrounds is open ended play using natural environments: plants, rocks, sand, wood, logs. Children get back to basics with the natural world while helping their cognitive development.
Hear it here: http://radioboston.wbur.org/2010/07/13/kids-parks
They speak of two playgrounds to look at if you are interested, but I believe they are both private.
The Sparks Center in Mattapan and Au Co Preschool at Viet AID in Dorchester. Both were designed by architects at Studio G.
Sadly I have no photos . . . yet.

Third Edition STILL to come!
Ok. So it has been awhile. I apologize.
As summer approaches . . . oops, it's here already? . . . I have been getting calls for the third edition of the book. I said, "I am hoping to get it done in the beginning of June." Then I said, "I am hoping to get it done sometime in June." Now I am saying, "LEAVE ME ALONE. I'M WORKING ON IT!!!" No no, actually I am close. We are in the copy editing phase. Write ups are done. Photos are done. Just Gloucester's map needs to be updated and I'm done. Give another week for editing. And another for printing. That means . . . end of July probably. Maybe it can be earlier. I'm sorry.
Third Edition due sometime in July.
