the playground
cristobal's territory

A playground is a place meant to perform games. Playgrounds, as we all know them, are public spaces where different people meet and let their children play. But they also entail another condition, an unfolded one, related to some other kind of games. A ground where you play with senses and feelings, where you can love or hate, run or walk, stay or leave. It is you as a bishop in the chess set. 

The Sarah D. Roosevelt Park is an example of these. In its many blocks, it contains many sportgrounds where you can actually play. Apart from that, the rest of the place is a common ground for that other kind of games. It is the Playground.
