It’s the Great Lego Donation Drive!

Thanks to a generous donation from DownCity Design, the Lego Table is back in Burnside Park for another exciting season to challenge children’s imaginations with the cherished childhood blocks. Our table is ready, but we need just one more thing….Legos!

We are now accepting donations of used Legos or you can help us buy new ones with a donation to Downtown Providence Parks Conservancy that directly supports our programming.

Here’s what your donation can buy:

• $10    Ten Lego men and women
•  $20    Non-toxic Lego cleaning supplies
•  $30    A medium sized box of legos

 

 

Help kids build their way to a great summer in our parks!

Thanks again to DownCity Design for donating the The Here I See PVD | Aqui Veo PVD LEGO Table! The table was originally designed and built by kids for kids through the city of Providence Pop Up PVD Initiative. It toured 5 Providence parks during the summer of 2014, including Burnside Park, inspiring kids and families to build, imagine and dream about what their city could look like. DownCity Design uses design education and real world projects as a way to teach kids to be problem solvers, communicators and collaborators.

Did you know the Sound Sculpture in Burnside Park – a larger than life marimba – was also a project of Downcity Design? For more information check out their website!
