Uses of Time

The 0-99 Outdoor Play Area, located in the Gran Clariana clearing in Parc de les Glòries Catalanes, is part of the Plan for Play in Public Space, with a 2030 horizon, as well as the Barcelona Playable City strategy. The aim is to create community meeting places with shared activities accessible to children, adults and older people, encouraging a spirit of fun among all city residents of all ages.

The initiative seeks to promote community by providing city residents with a variety of board games and free play activities for people of all ages, offering the opportunity to play outdoors on three days of the week (Friday, Saturday and Sunday).

In terms of the target public, the play area is designed for people of all ages with an intergenerational, intercultural and community perspective. The space includes a play area for young children and another for children aged 6 and over, as well as spaces for adolescents, young people, adults and the elderly. Play-based events are also organised in the space, where game suppliers, agents, publishers and creators are invited to present their latest creations.

The gender perspective is taken into account in all the activities offered at the 0-99 Play Area, which translates into fostering co-educational games, breaking down gender roles when encouraging participation, making communication inclusive, ensuring that the signage throughout the area does not perpetuate gender roles or stereotypes, and encouraging the participation of feminist or co-educational organisations.
