Which Toronto neighbourhood is tops for kids to play in? Study reveals best — and worst
Canada’s first “playability index” assesses how well neighbourhoods support children’s outdoor play across major cities.
“Researchers created the index by accessing existing data related to five main factors:
•Traffic environment, such as car speed and number of intersections
•Social environment, such as opportunities for social interaction
•Natural environment, such as the amount of vegetation in an area
•Spaces for play, such as parks or playgrounds
•Child-relevant destinations, such as elementary schools and community centres.
Together, they’re combined into an overall playability score for each neighbourhood.”
