Sallie Foster Adventure Playground

Sallie Foster Adventure Playground The Sallie Foster Adventure Playground is a space for kids to play, make, dream and be in Gifford Park. We are open Saturdays 12-4 pm.

The Sallie Foster Adventure Playground opened in May of 2015. We are a volunteer-staffed playground dedicated to supporting children's free and open play. Our playground does not look like a typical playground in that there is no pre-fabricated play equipment to be found on site. We actively strive to support kids using their imagination and developing physical skills to create their own spaces fo

r play. We supply materials and tools so that kids can take on their own projects and try out their ideas. We are connected to the Gifford Park Community Garden on Cass and 34th street, and have benefitted from the support of the Gifford Park Neighborhood Association. Our materials are all donated, and we're always looking for these items:

-Large pieces of fabric or tarp
-Large nails
-Small nails
-Pain and brushes (acrylic or outdoor paint)
-Wood
-Rope
-1/2 '' PVC pipe (or smaller)
-BOULDERS
-Rocks
-Natural materials like long grasses
-HAY BALES!!!
