Adventure Playground: The Lost Mitten at Parc Jean-Drapeau

Hiver en nous and Metalude are joining forces for the first time to offer children and their families an urban winter experiment: to play in an empty parking lot converted into a pop-up adventure playground for one morning. We hope together, through play, to reveal the potential uses, imaginations and narratives of ordinary urban spaces. The experience is designed for children ages 3-8, though all children are welcome.

At the heart of the pop-up adventure playground will be reproductions of the iconic Expo 67 play logs designed by Cornelia Hahn Oberlander.
