Everyone is cordially invited to the opening of the Children’s Play Garden in Burnham Green, Rizal Park Luneta this 17 November 2023!
The Children’s Play Garden which is meant for children ages 1-12, has playground features like swings, slides, seesaws, bridges, and a climbing pyramid. The main play structure was built with metal and 1 ton of recycled plastic waste. The garden is surrounded by newly planted native trees and plants.
The Children’s Play Garden is a donation of Rosalinda Z. Francisco to the park, as part of the 35th anniversary of Piandre Salon. Artist Aina Valencia led the project in collaboration with the National Parks Development Committee, L. Architect Tovie del Rosario, Architect Andrew Tan, Lydia Robledo, and Rose Policarpio. It began as a thesis project for Ms. Valencia for her MFA in Lesley School of Art and Design in Cambridge, MA which focused on how artists in civic practice can do collaborative work in the public sphere.
See you there!
