Greg Bennett

Greg Bennett served as an editor for Today's Playground Magazine in 2002, one of the earliest members of the editorial team at Harris Publishing's Idaho Falls-based recreation industry publication. In those early years of the magazine, Greg contributed to establishing the editorial voice that would go on to serve the playground and parks industry for more than two decades.

His writing reflects a genuine passion for outdoor play, and its role in child development — from the physical benefits of active play to the social skills children develop when they're given the freedom to explore, imagine, and connect with other kids on the playground. Greg's perspective bridges the world of editorial journalism and recreation advocacy, rooted in the belief that well-designed, well-maintained play spaces are one of the most meaningful investments a community can make in its children.
