Playplace

Lanny sat for a while looking out over the peaceful strait of water, which makes a playplace as well as a channel of commerce for the great metropolis.

Make a playplace and a showplace of your lawn with Lawn Billiards’ color-brite court equipment—weather-proof plastic balls, enameled metal pockets, streamlined mallets, gleaming markers, etc.

Play is the botanical gardens, the dinner table surrounded by friends and graced with the perfect centerpiece, the soccer field dotted with children running breathlessly. I would suggest that this playplace, playfield, playground is related to the idea of sacred space. The garden of Eden became a playground in that it was designated with boundaries as a place for Adam and Eve to enjoy.

Gavven and Mom walked back down the street and around to the playplace on the next street. The playplace wasn’t a school, but most small children went there for two or three hours each day. They enjoyed playing together with the toys and pets. The playplace was a big brick building, but today it, too, was being painted lavender.
