"One benefit of summer was that each day we had more light to read play by."
- Jeannette Walls

Play Scotland

Play into Summer!

Playing outdoors is essential for our children and young people to understand, value, enjoy and protect our natural world. In Scotland, this means playing outside in all weathers. 

The summer is a treasure trove of experiences and play opportunities that are vital to development and enjoyment. The days get longer and nature is all around.

Summer is a wonderful time to explore your community and natural environment – get out and play!
