Playing can help a kid’s healthy brain development.
But many communities are not kid-play-friendly. Latino neighborhoods tend to lack safe places that welcome kids and multi-generational families to play.
That’s why KaBOOM! created the Play Everywhere Playbook.
The Playbook helps cities design healthy play spaces with kids in mind.
The Playbook is has four sections built on input from city and community leaders, health experts, urban planners and affected families:
- Fundamentals: defining what makes a space a PLAYce—wondrous, convenient, inviting, shared, unifying, challenging and intentional
- Design guides: streets and sidewalks; parks trails, and public spaces; transit; multi-family housing; commercial spaces; civic spaces; and moveable and pop-up play
- Case studies: 10 case studies and growing
- Evaluation: evaluating what works
Share this with city leaders, businesses, child and family-serving non-profit groups, community development organizations, and other change-agents in your community.
And get your own Salud Report Card to see what other health issues need attention in your town!
