play:groundNYC is an adventure playground on Governor’s Island in New York City.

We provide a space for young people to explore the world, a safe space for building, imagining and risk taking. play:groundNYC is a space for young people to test themselves and develop a sense of ownership and belonging which fosters long term responsibility to their community and world.

play:groundNYC is for and by young people. A player-determined space for exploration and experimentation, play:groundNYC is rooted in the concepts that immediate and local access to the natural world and self-directed play can have an everlasting positive effect on young people.
In the tightly managed urban environment, young people rarely have access to a space that is entirely their own in which they are free to self-organize or independently fabricate based on their imaginations.

Financial aid available for summer camp.
