I'm not sure I can give you a straight-up answer on that. What I will say is that the research community in Canada and elsewhere is very interested in that. There is a real push for active, outdoor play as a complement to more structured activities, such as dance or sport.
There's also an interest in animating our public spaces. It's one thing to have a nice green park down the street; it's another thing if you don't feel safe in it and/or there isn't a social environment in that park that makes it a fun and desirable place to go. There's some interesting work going on to look at some of those models, both in Canada and elsewhere.
