Wait 5 sec.

Children who visit parks and playgrounds at least once a week may have better mental health and social development as they grow up. That's according to a new study by the University of Exeter, published in Epidemiology and Community Health. The paper is titled "Park Visits and Social-Emotional Development throughout Childhood: A Longitudinal Analysis of ALSPAC."
