Hello!
What an exciting and play-filled summer we had here at the Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative! We're thrilled that the mural, Time Travelers, by Sandy Kessler-Kaminski and Edith Abeyta (and many community volunteers as well) is complete at the Elizabeth Street Park. This project has been ongoing for many years. Next time you're in Hazelwood, be sure to stop by the newly completed park (complete with a matching path linking the two crosswalks, thanks to Dan from DOMI).
Stay tuned to our website to learn more about the work of the Play Collaborative as we move into the fall and winter.

Let's Move Pittsburgh
Let’s Move Pittsburgh, a collaborative program of Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens that aims to improve children’s health and wellness, is a proud member of the Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative. Play is important for the growth and development of healthy children and even plays a role in helping us make nutritious food choices and maintaining an active lifestyle. We are keeping it playful with our new movement, 5-2-1-0, which reinforces healthy lifestyle choices that benefit local kids and their families.
"This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play."
— Alan Watts
