Just as it is ill advised to set up a single large play structure as the answer to all the children's play needs, it is wrong to throw out all of the built physical play structures and offer the child only "nature". Children need to have a balance of nature and built things, choices of spaces for making their own play, for creating and socialising. There is no one type of thing – nature or a climbing structure – that is sufficient. Sufficiency is determined by the number of different kinds of play possibilities. Good play yards require variety; variety in spaces, in materials, in movement possibilities, in ways to play. Children's play is deeply dependent on the environment in which they play and children are very much influenced by the character of the space or micro environment.

Sufficiency is determined by the number of different kinds of play possibilities.
