Pop-up Adventure Playgrounds are free, public celebrations of child-directed play, stocked with loose parts (such as cardboard boxes, fabric, tape and string) and staffed by playworkers. An introductory version of the classic adventure playground model, they gently introduce themes of risk and freedom by welcoming people of all ages and abilities to play together at an existing play area or pop up park environment.
These events are also an effective way to begin organizing for a more permanent adventure playground site by building community first and giving volunteers a chance to practice.
See one in action!
This short video of a pop-up adventure playground was taken at the Honan-Brighton Library in Boston, MA in June, 2011. It was filmed beautifully by Two Kazoos.

Thank you for a brilliant morning today @ Heaton Park Methodist. The children absolutely loved it & have talked about it all day. Looking forward to the next one!
