🥳 SaturPLAY is back! On April 25th, ACDC hosted our first SaturPLAY of 2026. With our theme being Candy-Land, families participated in candy-themed arts and crafts. 🍬

➡️ Swipe to see some memories from April's SaturPLAY!

🛝SaturPLAY is a series of 6 youth-led interventions in collaboration with the Rose Kennedy Greenway to activate Mary Soo Hoo Park by having events on every last Saturday of the month, from April-October. ⁠SaturPLAY invites families to Chinatown to engage in games, activities, and play in one of Chinatown's only public spaces.

🙌 Thank you to Rose Kennedy Greenway, our youth volunteers, and our placekeeping volunteers!
