Preface
Introduction
1. Finding space for play: ‘playgrounds for poor children in populous places’
2. Competing playground visions: ‘a distinctly civilizing influence that gives much health and happiness’
3. Playgrounds for the people: ‘a magnetic force to draw children away from the dangers and excitements of the streets’
4. Orthodoxy and adventure: ‘playgrounds are often as bleak as barrack squares and just as boring’
5. Playground scuffles: ‘it’s ours whatever they say’
