- Recruiting holding partners all over the country
Pickup Playground (Representative Director: Naoyuki Akiba) will expand the event “PICK UP PLAYGROUND * PUP” that has been held independently in Yoyogi Park, Komazawa Park, and the Tokyo area. Through picking games and garbage picking activities, we are looking for organizers who want to hold PUPs in each area, hoping that conversations will be created between the side that manages the playground and the side that uses it, and new communities and scenes will be fostered. We will donate the official approval and know-how that can hold PUP officially, and the garbage picking kit with the logo used at the event free of charge. This event will be held from April to August 2022. If you would like to hold a PUP during this period, please apply.

“PICK UP PLAYGROUND” is an event held for the future that basketball courts will continue to exist in the park and will increase throughout Japan. Overseas, a game in which various players gathered in a park form an instant team is called a pick-up game, but we named it “PICK UP PLAY GROUND” including the act of picking up trash around the court. All the players gathered at the event, regardless of age or sex, will play a pick-up game, and after the event, all the participants will pick up the trash. Through the event, acquaintances will increase, conversations will be created even in daily use, and the community will be nurtured. The community creates autonomy for the court, and the rules for using the court are created by the morals of the users. I am drawing such a future.
