OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
NO. LTC # 146-2019
LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members o the City ommission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manage
DATE: March 12, 2019
SUBJECT: IMAGINATION PLAYGROUND A TIVATIONS
The purpose of this LTC is to notify the Mayor and City Commission that the Parks and
Recreation Department, in partnership with Lincoln Road Business Improvement District
and The Bass Museum of Art, is excited to feature Imagination Playground pop-up
activations during March and April.
Imagination Playground is designed to get kids playing with little more than sand, water
and a set of blocks. The abstractly shaped blocks have holes and shapes that fit together
in ways which allow endless possibilities, enabling children to engineer whatever sparks
their imagination and promoting immersive play.
The playground concept has been instrumental for cities with limited park and play space,
allowing for mobile and innovative play in non-traditional park spaces such as parking lots,
vacant lots and roof tops.
The scheduled dates, times and locations of the pop-up activations are listed below.
