Its fun when colleagues are at conferences and our research pops up. Happy to see our National Study of Playgrounds findings supporting the development of better public spaces and proving why everyone needs a place to play! (w/ @DesignPhilly, @tpl_org)

When you don’t plan it, but accidentally stumble upon a treehouse restaurant overlooking Koman Lake and the Albanian Alps, that also has swings and adorable cats. We are winning at travel studio! (@weitzman_landarch)

How can play affect climate change and build more resilient, happier communities? This is the question we are exploring in Albania with landscape architecture students from the University of Pennsylvania and our partner @qendra_marredhenie.

We don't talk enough about how play supports our whole body....including our hidden senses. Play is not just about physical movement, but creating opportunities of joy, connection, and stimulation of our whole self, throughout life.

@HPE_Teacher @outsideplayubc @mbrussoni No wheelchair swing but bucket swings with straps and basket swings for the whole family. It’s a giant oval with 20 swings, intended for all ages. The wheel on swings are currently only stand alone. The towers have spiral nets and transfer stations so you can “climb the trees”.

Loved seeing this article by the fabulous @LangeAlexandra, showcasing not just skating, but stormwater too! Solving climate problems with play?? Yes!

Tim Gill@timrgill

Good to hear about some fresh design thinking on #skateparks in this piece by the always-readable @LangeAlexandra. Interesting to note that in the US at least, skating is a fast-growing sport for both boys *and* girls. bloomberg.com/features/2024-…

@BenjaminAddy Yes! Us! Our National Study of Playgrounds has loads of takeaways for teens adults and seniors at play. Half of playground users are not kids! Happy to connect and share more!

Does anyone have any evidence or insight on the benefits of developing play spaces that encompass wider age groups? For example - playgrounds that hold interest for kids from toddlers through to teens? #play

Yes and yes. Public space for people of all ages to be together and play, is essential infrastructure.

This podcast does a great job of showing how there is no one answer to the "why/how/are the teens really depressed?" We all have our priors + I'm always going to press for 3D alternatives to phones i.e. LET THE KIDS HAVE PUBLIC SPACE. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/are…

We designed the playscape at Moorestown Friends School to be habitat not just for kids, but for local wildlife too! So exciting to see that birds felt safe enough to nest in one of our kid nests :) W/ @metarch_design, @mfsfox

@baronjutter @berkie1 @PhilaParkandRec @MemRiverParks @studiogang @scape_studio Its ok to say they are wrong. Because we put more swings in and people are loving it so much they already wore holes in the surfacing thats less than a year old. Research in action :)

@baronjutter @berkie1 @PhilaParkandRec @MemRiverParks @studiogang @scape_studio We talk about how we want people to be more active and healthier but get upset when they are using spaces “the wrong way.” If they are there, let’s embrace why they are and design for it!

I'm very excited to share the front cover of Designed for Play, my book on the convoluted history of the playground, due out in July with @UoLPress. It will be free to read online #playgroundhistories

Wow!!! So proud of the amazing 18 page spread in @landarchmag of our Arches Playground w/ @ojbla. So many thanks to the always impressive Dan Jost for a phenomenal feature. We need more play spaces that let kids and their grownups choose their own adventure!

"Not all teens love to skate or play organized sports, and both activities have traditionally been male-dominated. Swings, shady seating areas and teen-scaled play eqpt... make outdoor activities have broader appeal." This Philly park shows the way. bloomberg.com/features/2024-…?

Joyful article by superb @LangeAlexandra on play-grounds. They provide never-ending fun, a feeling. Swings combined for baby & caretaker, for group to socialize, soft surfaces, lots of nature, less plastic, more imagination. #SustainableHappiness. @BloombergDotOrg.

#UrbanHealth #Playful Swing Sets and slides are for children of all ages. If fun for an 8 AND an 80, it'll be great for 0 to over 100. Amazing new playgrounds as Philly's Anna C. Verna Playground w the largest swing set in N_America or Tom Lee in Memphis. bit.ly/3JEWKGC

Play doesn't stop after childhood, it just evolves. Lets design play for all! Our playground at FDR Park w/ @wrtdesign and @myphillypark is a perfect example.

Sure, cherry blossoms are romantic, but have you tried a tandem swing? As swings get bigger and swoopier and stranger, they attract more than just kids. bloomberg.com/features/2024-…

@outsideplayubc @civic_grit Thanks for the share! We need to start talking about play after childhood, how to build for it, how to make space for it, and why it matters! Everyone deserves moments of joy and woohoo.

"Play does not stop after childhood, it just evolves" - interesting to read about the work behind @_studio_ludo 's very cool Anna C. Verna Playground in Philadelphia!🌿Article by Meghan Talarowski (via @civic_grit )👇

@civicgrit.bsky.social@civic_grit

I've seen many people call the new playground at FDR Park the best in Philly. It was designed by a non-profit based out of West Philly: @_studio_ludo. Here's an interesting interview where the founder discusses the design choices behind the playground: myphillypark.org/anna-verna-pla…
