Pop-Up Adventure Play is a not-for-profit play advocacy organization founded in the United States with centres in other countries. It is also a registered charity in the UK.[1]

History

Pop-Up Adventure Play was first founded in the United States with support from Fractured Atlas[2] in order to translate the UK playwork tradition for use in the US.[3] It was later established as a Private company limited by guarantee, and then a charity, in the United Kingdom.[4] Its founding members include Morgan Leichter-Saxby, Suzanna Law, Sharon Unis, Anna Housley Juster, Daniel Bigler and Erin Davis.[5] Pop-up Adventure play held its first pop-up adventure playground in New York City in 2010.[6] There have since been over 300 Pop-Ups in more than 25 countries.[7]

Programs

Pop-Up Adventure Play advocates for "child-directed, open-ended play," hosts pop-up adventure playgrounds, provides Playwork training and pop-up play support and free resources to other play organizations worldwide.[8] [9]

Pop-Up Adventure Play has held pop-ups in McCarren Park, in Brooklyn,[10] Central Park and other parks in New York City,[11] Northampton, Massachusetts,[12] Port Clinton, Ohio,[13] Largo, Florida,[14] Santa Clarita, California,[15] Missoula, Montana,[16] and elsewhere.[17] Pop-Up Adventure Play also opened a free "Pop-Up Play Shop" in Cardiff, Wales, where children could play with recycled materials.[18]
