In case you missed it, Saturday was the kickoff event for Sustainable 2nd Saturdays, which you can read about here and which featured tetherball matches.

But the point of City Fabrick‘s setting up Park[d] Plaza, whose yellowness on 4th Street at Elm Avenue (directly across the street from the Fingerprints/Berlin annex) is open to one and all, is to transform one little corner of our urban landscape and “encourage you to re-explore your local habitat.”

The tetherball courts are working. I discovered them last Thursday night after exiting a show at Fingerprints, when I saw three young men returning to their even younger days, playing tetherball not because of an event, but just because the opportunity was there.

And it’s there right now. Three courts, no waiting, lit up all night and waiting for you to get in the game.

Park[d] Plaza is located on 4th Street between Elm and Linden Avenues. It was developed by the City of Long Beach with help from Brian Ulaszewski, founder of nonprofit design studio City Fabrick and occasional writer on urban planning for the Post.
