Summer Program: Parks and Playgrounds (Grades 3-5)

This event is offered in-person at the Center for Architecture. Masks are strongly encouraged for all K-12 programs, regardless of vaccination status. Read our full Health and Safety Protocol here.

Time: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm ET, daily

Kids are the experts in this program focusing on the design of parks and playgrounds. The class will visit several unique parks and playgrounds in the city to assess their design features by playing (of course!) and conducting on-site analysis through surveys, drawings, and user interviews. Students will explore and design different types of play spaces, culminating in a model of their own ideal park or playground.
