Abstract: This manuscript provides a viewpoint on issues of settler colonialism in relation to natural playground contexts. Reflections emerged while conducting a multi‐site study on natural playground development and usage in Calgary, Canada. One site was situated in a large urban green space, Confederation Park, and illustrated the materialization of green spaces as a settler‐colonial project.
