Neighbourhood Play System - Te Kura o Pātiki: Rosebank School 2023

The Neighbourhood Play System (NPS) is an exciting approach to urban play design that places the key stakeholder – tamariki – at the centre of the process.

Tamariki are critical to the success of the NPS – they can tell us where they play, how they play and what’s preventing them from playing more at school and in their neighbourhood.

NPS brings together a school or kura, local organisations and community groups who work together to bring to life play projects that suit the needs of their tamariki and communities.

Take a read to see how this approach is chnaging young lives in Te Kura o Pātiki - Rosebank School.
