Kids, balls, tubes and duct tape come together in former Roslindale cafe

Roslindale Wants to Play and Roslindale Village Main Street have turned the long abandoned Select Cafe on Belgrade Avenue into a pop-up Build Zone where kids (and, shh, adults) can create "ball runs" tomorrow and next Saturday.

Cora Carey, STEAM and maker project manager at the Children's Museum worked with other Roslindale residents over the past few days to build the centerpieces of the play area: Hand-cranked "elevators" kids can use to transport plastic balls to the tops of towers for journeys down to the ground.

The Build Zone is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow and March 25 at 2 Belgrade Ave., across from the Roslindale Village train-station parking lot. Free admission, but parent or guardian required.
