This study clarifies the actual conditions of adventure playgrounds and the role of play-leaders through a questionnaire to the management groups of adventure playgrounds. The results are as follows ; 1) Most adventure playgrounds with professional play-leaders are permanent. 2) Flat playgrounds, trees, water and storages are important factors for adventure playgrounds. 3) Wasted woods, craft tools, mud play tools, water play tools and rope are provided while adventure playgrounds are opened, so children can experience multiple play. 4) The popular play at adventure playgrounds uses water, rope, wasted woods and fires. 5) The management groups of adventure playgrounds highly evaluate originative play offered by play-leaders, and many management groups need skilled play-leaders for their activities.
