It's only fitting that my 1,000th post be about Isamu Noguchi's Playscapes. I had the amazing opportunity to play on the grounds all day on saturday with my daughter, niece and nephew. It was topped off with a jazz quartet playing in the background and fresh apples from the farmers market just a stones throw from the playground. The park I'm referring to is Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia .... which houses Noguchi's only playground to be completed in his lifetime. Such a peaceful and wonderful space for both big kid and small!
I've lived in Atlanta all my life and have had the pleasure of seeing this beautiful playscape come back to life, literally. It was in a great state of disrepair and was only recently refurbished and unveiled. It is fantastic, isn't it. My kiddos love those slides...they go awfully fast.
It was only a couple of years ago that I discovered to my great surprise the sign that credited Noguchi with the design. Love that!
