Even by the elevated standards of Silicon Valley, the play space in Mike Lanza’s backyard is extraordinary. It boasts a map of the neighborhood painted on the driveway, a trampoline, a fabulous 24-foot-long play river — an installation art piece, designed for children’s museums — and a log-cabin playhouse with a sleeping loft, whiteboard walls inside for coloring and really good speakers. Mike, an entrepreneur in his early 50s, is a well-known, if polarizing, figure in his community. He’s a deep believer in the idea that “kids have to find their own balance of power.” He wants his boys to create their own society governed by its own rules. “Think about your own 10 best memories of childhood, and chances are most of them involve free play outdoors,” Mike is fond of saying. “How many of them took place with a grown-up around?” He put his ideas about parenting down in a self-published book called “Playborhood,” a phrase he coined to describe the environment he wanted for his kids — an environment he thinks has disappeared in many neighborhoods around the U.S. Visit the link in our profile to read more about Mike’s theories, and to see more photos by @hollyandres for @nytmag.
