For the first time, the recently released 2015 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth includes a Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play, and takes a stand on outdoor and risky active play. The evidence-informed Position Statement examines the best available scientific evidence on the net effect (e.g. balance of benefits versus harms) of outdoor and risky active play.
A list of supporters of the Position Statement is available here. If you would like to show your support, please sign up here.
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement and the numerous benefits of outdoor active play
