The Hands-on-Nature Anarchy Zone (or Anarchy Zone, or HONAZ) is an Adventure playground located in the Ithaca Children's Garden in Ithaca, New York.[1] The Anarchy Zone was created in 2012 with support from Park Foundation through a partnership of the Ithaca Children's Garden, the US Fish & Wildlife Service, and EarthPlay.[2] The Anarchy Zone consists of a play-area of a third of an acre with a large mud pit, sand and clay, trees and stumps, and many loose materials: logs, straw bales, soil, cardboard, rocks, and so forth.[3][4]

The Anarchy Zone is staffed by playworkers.
