A community gathering to imagine a downtown Greensboro where play, creativity, and kid-friendly spaces shape the future of our city.
What if Greensboro were a city built for curiosity? A place where joyful exploration shaped everyday life?
State of Play DGSO invites our community leaders, educators, caregivers, and champions for children to come together and design a more playful future for downtown.
We know this much: 90% of brain growth happens before age five, and play is the superpower behind it all. Guided by The Basics Inc., this session highlights simple, daily ways families and organizations can spark early learning.
Anchored in the heart of the Downtown Greensboro Cultural District, State of Play DGSO explores how our museums, parks, and cultural icons can work together to create vibrant, kid-friendly public spaces that welcome everyone.
We are also thrilled to host keynote speaker Rusty Keeler, an international outdoor play advocate whose work inspires cities to embrace nature, healthy risk, and child-led wonder.
