Play is a critical cultural force in human development, long-studied across multiple disciplines for its inexplicable, paradoxical, yet life-affirming qualities. Though often confined to the realm of children as frivolous fun or educational duty, play is vital to all ages and contains serious political potential as a spatial practice. This text investigates play as a spatial practice developed and enacted throughout human life, tracing its early emergence in daily childhood routines on the playground to its role in public space and resistance efforts. Spatial design and landscape architecture tend to anesthetize play, programming it into spaces and severing it from politics while simultaneously claiming to strive towards more equitable and democratic cities. In order to create truly equitable public spaces, the definition of ‘spatial design’ as a professionalized, top-down process must be abandoned and instead should be considered as the individual and collective actions that actually transform and reproduce space. Within this bottom-up design, play might be critical as a continuous process of finding connection, experimenting with new alternatives, and rebuilding the world.
