PlayAtlanta

I equate making art with playing (although it can be really hard work), so I was thrilled to visit the new Art on the BeltLine temporary installation along 8 miles of Atlanta's new BeltLine linear park.

I'm so excited about this BeltLine. What an incredible thing for our City. Imagine having this 22-mile linear park (is it still called linear when it is in a circle?) and every so often along the way you find wonderful art and fun things to play on....really out of the ordinary kind of stuff...but very, very fun. Designing play for the BeltLine is part of our new Playable10 International Design Competition initiative. What will the designers come up with? I just can't imagine.


I'll post more pictures from the Art on the BeltLine installation as soon as I fix my Photoshop.

Play Champions of the Year

There just aren't enough words to thank the folks at Landscape Structures for all they are doing to make creative play happen for the children of Atlanta. 

LSI took the new playground at Woodruff Park off of the drawing board and made it come alive. They made the PlayChastain Exploratorium happen for the families and children of north Atlanta. 

Landscape Structures has gone above and beyond and their efforts are greatly appreciated. 

Congratulations to LSI, ATOP's Play Champions of the Year 2012!

Ethan's grandmother gave him a gift of $25. He gave $20 to ATOP so more Atlanta kids will have great places to play. He kept $5 to get something cool for himself. We think Ethan is pretty cool!
