If you have kids, you know creativity, active playing, and free thinking are all crucial elements for developing minds. Imagination Playground [2], built on this idea, will be on the High Line this Saturday. It's a great chance for kids to play in a whole new way!

Here's how it works. "Imagination Playground in a box" will arrive at the park as a kit of giant foam blocks, mats, wagons, fabric, crates, and other materials. Kids are then invited to use the objects to dream up their own playground — and then build it. It's an excellent way to encourage creativity and activity, and promises to be a lot of fun.

"Imagination Playground in a box" was designed by architect David Rockwell [3], and is offered free on the High Line thanks to a partnership with KaBOOM! [4]
