“Inside: An interview with Missy Benson from Playworld, talking about the importance of outdoor play and inclusive play, and the new PlayForm 7 in the Boston area.
“Oh. my. Goodness!!!” my daughter shrieked with excitement. My son’s eyes widened and he took off running toward the playful chaos of the playground.
I vividly remember the exuberance from both of my children as we turned the corner and first laid eyes on the Jamie Bell Adventure Park. We were in Toronto for the summer, and I heard from other parents that this was the park we HAD to see. I was almost speechless – it was gigantic and colorful and full of happy, energetic children.
Have you or your kids ever been absolutely blown away by a playground?
A place where your kids played for hours and didn’t want to leave?
I love finding these types of playgrounds for my kids, so I was thrilled to hear about some cool structures all over Boston. Extraordinary Playscapes is a free exhibition “showcasing the art, history, science, and importance of play”.
I recently got a chance to speak with Missy Benson from Playworld. Her organization has been creating some amazing playgrounds, and recently worked on the Extraordinary Playscapes exhibition in Boston with PlayForm 7 and the Play Cubes exhibits.”
