We are thrilled to announce that SALT DESIGN STUDIO’s Haddington Playspace project is now on display at the IN-FILL PA exhibition, located at The Exchange Gallery (24 East Main Street, Bloomsburg, PA) from May 8th to June 9th. This exhibition showcases designs, artwork, and ideas for regenerating in-fill spaces.
SALT was commissioned by ACHIEVEability, a social services organization, to engage the community and develop a design for transforming a vacant parcel into a pocket play park in the Haddington neighborhood of Philadelphia. Thanks to a grant from Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), we conducted interactive workshops with local residents to address safety concerns, determine the desired age range for park use, and gauge interest in nature play. ACHIEVEability utilized our Conceptual Plan to secure state funding for the park's design and implementation.
Spanning just under 3,000 square feet, this small but impactful open space will provide equitable and safe access to play in a busy and underserved area. Construction is slated to begin late summer or fall 2023.
Join us at the IN-FILL PA exhibition and be sure to follow us for updates on this exciting project!
