As International Day of Play comes to a close, let's remember that #play isn't something #children need for just one day a year. Every day, children need the time and space to play and simply to be children. Thank you to our members working year-round to create better places and opportunities for play. #InternationalDayOfPlay #APImembers #IDoP2026

On #IDoP2026, we're celebrating #play as a vital part of childhood and recognising the role that great #playgrounds and outdoor spaces have in helping children build confidence and friendships. Let's make sure every #community has places where children can play freely and flourish. #InternationalDayOfPlay

On International Day of Play we're supporting the call for schools across the UK and Ireland to give children 31 extra minutes of #play as part of the Play31 Challenge. Play is essential for children's health and wellbeing. But quality play opportunities need quality spaces. That's why we believe every #school should have access to safe, #inclusive and inspiring outdoor play environments. API members provide playgrounds and outdoor play spaces that help children thrive every day. Let's give children more time to play and the spaces they need to make the most of it. #InternationalDayOfPlay #Play31Challenge #APImembers #IDoP2026

This Thursday is International Day of Play! #Play is vital for children’s health, happiness and development.
