Providence Children’s Museum’s Seventh Annual Play at the Park Series Now in Central Falls, Pawtucket and Providence

Providence Children’s Museum announces the expansion of its annual Play at the Park
series to include daytime and evening events in the cities of Central Falls, Pawtucket
and Providence.

Providence Children’s Museum AmeriCorps members will bring playful, hands-on activities to select parks all summer long, building on the Museum’s commitment to advocate for and raise awareness of the critical importance of unstructured play opportunities for children throughout the community. As part of community events hosted by parks, cities and agencies, the Museum engages families in a variety of playful, open-ended activities – fort building, bubble blowing, rocket launching, and more. This
year, a Makers’ Workbench has been added to the activity line-up, inviting the whole family to exercise
their creative muscles and explore tools and materials. Activities are offered in English and Spanish and
are free to the public.
