Jongensland (Dutch: “Boysland”) was a playground for Dutch children built in the aftermath of World War II as an attempt by urban planners and child psychologists to undo fascist ideas of child development.
It was established in 1948 on an island in eastern Amsterdam, and allowed boys and girls to build simple strictures and play without adult supervision. The island was only accessible by boat.
