Build Your Own Fantasy World
Activity/Event/Show Reviewed: Kids Activity
Address: Berkeley Marina, on University Ave., exit off I-80
City: Berkeley
Summary: The name says it all, this is not your average playground! Kids have access to paint, hammers, nails, saws and wood, to design and create their very own play structures. Come ride the zip line, climb on the many kid designed and built forts, boats and towers, or build your own. This innovative playground is free if children and adults come together. Groups need to make advanced reservations. Adventure Playground is designed mainly for children 6 and up, but younger kids can go play if they are supervised by an adult. Parents must come with their kids to the park but once they sign in parents are free to go and kids over 6 are free to play for three hours. During the summer there are also programs offered by the Adventure Playground staff that parents’ can sign kids up for allowing them to stay for more than three hours without parental supervision. The only drawback to this playground is that once your kids arrive it’s close to impossible to get them to leave. Be sure to wear play clothes such as sturdy pants and clothes that can get messy.

Zeum’s mission is to foster the creativity of young people of all backgrounds by:
Providing a hands-on, participatory environment for youth arts expression;
Creating opportunities for collaboration among young people, artists, educators and partner organizations; and Integrating the arts into the classroom curriculum.
History
Zeum is the cornerstone of the Rooftop at Yerba Buena Gardens, an innovative project of the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency to develop an entire city block as an urban destination for youth. More than a decade in the planning, Zeum was founded as a not-for-profit organization in 1992, began its signature brand of community programming in 1995, broke ground on its permanent facility in 1996 and opened to the public on October 31, 1998. Zeum was formerly known as the Studio for Technology and the Arts.
Join the Zeum Volunteer Team!
If you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at Zeum, join our team of volunteers who assist the Zeum staff in various departments including Program, Development, Marketing, and other areas. Our recruitment focus is for on-call volunteers to handle a variety of projects. We also have a limited number of positions for people who are able to commit to a weekly schedule.
For more information, please call the volunteer hotline at 415-820-3331 Website: www.zeum.org
