In the mid-90s, coffee shops stopped trying to just sell coffee. They started to sell the idea of belonging.
One national coffee chain built their brand around a simple but powerful idea: every one of their shops should be a “third place”—that space between home and work where people could slow down, connect, and feel part of something larger.
And for a while, it worked. Who could resist the smell of espresso, the low hum of conversation, and the feeling of togetherness? Coffee shops became the default gathering place for a generation that was losing real community.
But there was a catch. You had to buy your seat.
That “third place” was always transactional. Your permission to linger came with a $6 coffee and a Wi-Fi code. It was connection…curated, commercialized, and contained within four branded walls.
The Real Third Place Has Been Here All Along
Parks were the first third place. Long before baristas figured out how to monetize comfort, cities and towns built spaces where people could
What does it take to turn an empty lot into a vibrant play space? Installing a playground is more than just placing equipment and pouring concrete - it’s a step-by-step journey that brings communities together through teamwork and shared pride.
Rich Sinclair knows a thing or two about community builds. As part of Sinclair Recreation, the exclusive GameTime representative in Michigan and Indiana, he’s led projects that bring people together—like the installation at Water Tower Park in Holland, Michigan. Here, he walks us through the installation process and shares how community involvement can make all the difference.

The Water Tower Park build in Holland, MI is a perfect example. Thanks to the hard work of dedicated volunteers, Rich Sinclair and
Many parents around the world have noticed that as their children get older, they tend to spend more time indoors, trading playgrounds for video game lobbies. While the desire to play and connect with peers remains strong, many outdoor spaces don’t fully support the evolving interests of children as they age.
Designing play spaces that grow with children is key to fostering lifelong engagement. As interests and play styles change, we’re committed to creating inclusive, dynamic environments that nurture growth, inspire discovery, and keep play meaningful and enriching at every age.
The Lifelong Benefits of Play
It’s important to consider the needs of different age ranges when designing your new playful space. According to the National Institute for Play, engaging in physical play enhances cognitive flexibility, reduces stress, and fosters social connections at any age. Studies also show that play contributes to positive mental health, physical well-being, and overall better quality of
