WATCH: Playground X Players Lounge Opening Party
Saturday marked the grand opening party of Players Lounge, drawing basketball enthusiasts, fashion trendsetters, and media representatives for a uniquely immersive gathering.
Part of playground X, Players Lounge is a 160mÂČ, two-level hybrid social space blending indoor and outdoor designs.
Designed by New York-based Studio MH, its conceptâRetro Hipsterâdraws inspiration from the deep ties between NBA culture and hip-hop, exuding bold vintage vibes and unrestrained energy.
High-saturation colors, raw industrial metals, and nostalgic neon lights create a striking Americana retro aesthetic, offering a laid-back yet vibrant social atmosphere.
The second-floor terrace boasts breathtaking views of the river and dual-court landscapes, making it the ultimate hotspot for stylish rooftop parties.
More than just a landmark for sports and trends in North Bund, Playground X is a “massive playground” for everyone
The first-floor bar and second-floor terrace each offer distinct vantage points of Shanghai’s iconic skyline, with perfectly framed shots featuring Lujiazui’s Oriental Pearl Tower and the Bund’s historic architecture – endless photo opportunities await.
The terrace’s ‘Screaming Riverside Slide’ rockets you from the second floor straight down to the NBA HOOP PARK below, functioning like a thrill ride space-time portal.
Whether you’re an basketball fan or athlete looking to unwind with drinks after a game, or simply want to enjoy Shanghai’s stunning views with friends, Players Lounge is the ultimate go-to spot.
