In Shanghai’s Baoshan No. 2 Central Primary School, Nike and LEGO China have joined forces with the design studio OLA Shanghai to create a playground that merges creativity, movement, and sustainability. Inspired by the simple yet iconic geometry of the 2×3 LEGO brick, the project transforms its modular design logic into a dynamic space for play and physical exploration.
Developed as part of Nike’s Move to Zero initiative – the brand’s journey toward zero carbon and zero waste – the playground is a celebration of creative movement. Each structure reinterprets the LEGO brick’s modularity into components for climbing, balancing, and exploration, allowing children to construct their own play experiences. It’s full immersive experience where movement and imagination coexist, where every jump or climb becomes an act of design.
The concept was further shaped through LEGO China’s Build the Change workshop, where children were invited to express their ideas about play using LEGO bricks. Their creativity directly influenced the final design, emphasizing open-ended interaction, collaboration, and experimentation. In this space, a short recess becomes an opportunity for invention, teamwork, and discovery.
Beyond its visual appeal, the playground stands as a model of educational and sustainable design. It demonstrates how thoughtful collaboration between two global brands can extend beyond products, creating spaces that inspire curiosity, nurture physical activity, and empower the next generation of creators.
By fusing the structured logic of LEGO with Nike’s commitment to active living, the playground redefines what play can mean: not just recreation, but a learning experience that grows, adapts, and moves, just like the children it was built for.
