Ultimate Play Day 2018

Sunday, May 20, 2018

August Wilson Park

1-4 p.m.

What a wonderful day of play we had! The weather was stunning, smiles were everywhere and play was literally around every turn. If you weren't able to join us, don't fret. There will be another Ultimate Play Day in 2019! Keep checking our events page for pop-up play days around the region in the meantime.

The Ultimate Play Day is a celebration of playfulness for people of all ages. Hosted by the Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative, the event is an opportunity for people from throughout the Pittsburgh region to play together and raise awareness of the benefits of play for everyone- from birth to 199 yrs.
