History
Philadelphia’s street grid contains Revolutionary-era sites and 19th-century industrial blocks; the city’s public spaces often double as informal gameboards for urban explorers.
Conservation
Respect public art and private property, pack out trash, and avoid trampling green spaces — urban games can concentrate foot traffic in sensitive spots.
