July 2015
- Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy Frick Park
- Ferguson Park in Wilkinsburg
- Randyland
We met with experts in the field of play to explore, analyze, and discuss the history and importance of playgrounds in the region. We visited the “Blue Slide Park” with Ernie Detorre and the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy; Frick Park Playground at Braddock and Forbes Avenue with Dick Wilford, Park Foreman; Ferguson Park in Wilkinsburg with Patrick Shattuck; and toured Randyland with Randy Gilson.
At each stop we considered the formal, conceptual, experiential, and community facets of the location.
