Play England has published a research review on the theme, Play, naturally.

The review, Play, naturally: A review of children's natural play, looks at the benefits of play on children's health and well-being, and outlines what we should be doing to compensate for the loss of natural play space in recent years.

The research was originally published to support Playday 2006. Play England also published a survey of children's views and top tips to support the campaign.
