"A bright new playground has opened at Baoshan No. 2 Central Primary School in Shanghai, where the worlds of LEGO bricks and Nike sportswear collide to reshape how children experience recess. The project grew out of LEGO's "Build the Change" workshop, during which pupils used 2 × 3 LEGO bricks to sketch ideas for a playground that would feel like a giant building set. Those sketches became the blueprint for a vibrant, modular play space that blends sport, imagination and movement."
"Nike's involvement ties the design to its "Move to Zero" sustainability program, turning the simple brick into a tool for exploration, climbing, and quick‑burst games. Rather than a static field, the layout offers interchangeable routes, stepping stones and obstacle zones that let kids design their own paths during a typical ten‑minute break. The playground's visual language is unmistakably LEGO‑inspired: bold primary colors, interlocking shapes and a pattern that mimics the iconic studs of a brick."
At Baoshan No. 2 Central Primary School in Shanghai a modular playground built from LEGO-inspired components and Nike performance elements reshapes recess into active learning. Pupils sketched designs using 2 × 3 LEGO bricks that became the blueprint for interchangeable routes, stepping stones and obstacle zones. Bold primary colors, interlocking shapes and stud-like patterns guide climbing, weaving and jumping while surfaces support sprinting, agility drills and balance challenges. The design encourages students to create routes during ten-minute breaks, promoting problem-solving, teamwork and confidence. Recycled materials and modular components align with sustainability goals and allow reconfiguration over time.
