In 2018, Playful Learning Landscapes (PLL) was introduced to PARK(ing) Day Philadelphia by the Community Design Collaborative (Collaborative), who partners with the Center for Architecture and Design, the host of the initiative. Together, PLL and the Collaborative brought something new to the annual event – a “Playful Learning” theme. PLL advised several PARK(ing) Day teams while also working directly with the Collaborative’s team of designers to incorporate opportunities for playful learning into their parklet designs. PLL worked with the Collaborative designers and children from a local recreation center to create a customizable game board that allows kids to invent their own games that advance literacy and mathematical skills. In 2019, PPL again worked with the Collaborative and children from another recreation center to create a parklet that included honeycomb screens that could be configured in multiple ways to create spaces that provide opportunities for performances, reading nook activities, and social interaction.
