The Yard (adventure playground)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yard (also called 'Young Yardville' or 'Yardville') was the first adventure playground established in the United States. It was opened in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1949, to give children "their own spot of earth and plenty of tools and materials for digging, building and creating as they see fit."[1][2]
