Amalgamated Play Headquarters is the nerve-center for our world-wide operations dedicated to the serious business of fun and play! One part theater, one part playground, and one part quiet retreat, this structure is a fusion of physical and imaginative activity.

For a workout, hoist yourself up the rock climbing wall, scamper across the bridge and glide down the turbo tube slide. There are plenty of Barbara’s “loops of play” to keep kids running and exploring.

On days when you’re feeling more theatrical, stage a production on the built-in stage, complete with ticket booth, working Sunbrella curtains, and a generous backstage area for preparing for your dramatic entrance. More in the mood for reading, writing or arithmetic? Use the solar powered light (yep, the one by Voltaic currently featured on Kickstarter) in the upper playhouse for reading, or plug your device into the included USB port.

The last step in donating this powerhouse of a structure to Rebuilding Together Peninsula is to assemble it in the shop and transport it to the Stanford Shopping Center. Amalgamated Play Headquarters is our latest in a long line of donations to the Dreams Happen Gala & Auction. As you can see, teamwork and communication are the key to our efficient building system. Above, Jeff Beal, co-owner and Barbara’s husband, attaches the twisty slide to the wooden frame.

Because our structures are built in a modular fashion, they can be taken apart and then reassembled if needed. In this case, however, CB Trucking has kindly donated the services of a flatbed big rig to transport Amalgamated Play Headquarters to the auction site.
