This thesis examines ways in which educational and community-building opportunities can be enhanced
on a school/park site located in the proposed sustainable community of East Clayton. It explores ways in
which children construct knowledge of their world, through processes of direct interaction with,
manipulation of, and reflection on their immediate environment. It proposes how the designed landscape
of a schoolground can support these formative processes within the context of evolving attitudes and
values concerning environmental education, community, and sustainability. A threefold framework,
based on the concepts of contextuality , constructiveness, and relational space, was developed as a
means of addressing the sensori-motor, cognitive, and social facets of learning.
