Help design new play experiences for Governors Island at the OHNY Weekend Family Festival
Oct 12, 2011 8:58 pm
Though the crowd on the swings at Picnic Point often suggests otherwise, we know that play on Governors Island is NOT just for grown ups! As part of Governors Island Park and Public Space project, West 8 is designing new play experiences for kids and we want to make sure they are as fun as can be. So bring your kids to the Open House New York Weekend Family Festival at the Center for Architecture (536 LaGuardia Place in Manhattan) this Saturday and Sunday from 12pm-4pm for some hands-on park design activities with West 8 and The Trust for Governors Island. The event is organized by OHNY and the Center for Architecture Foundation. Other participating organizations this year are Architots, the Center for Architecture, Eldridge Street Synagogue, Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts, Governors Island, Isabel Hill (childrens book author), The Noble Maritime Collection, No Longer Empty (with paperJam), OHNY, Public Workshop and RoboFun. We hope to see you there!
