A new KaBOOM! playground has just arrived to Marshall Meadows, an affordable housing community in San Antonio, Texas.

With the help of 200 volunteers from Foresters, The Housing Community Services, Inc. and a team from KaBOOM!, kids living in and near Marshall Meadows now have a new place to play.

Plans for the project started with a design day in June 2014, according to a news release.

As part of the playground design process, children were asked to draw their dream playground. Designers used their drawings as inspiration for the new playscape.

The playground is expected to serve more 25,000 children.

“A community’s well-being starts with a child’s well-being,” said Tony Garcia, president and CEO, of Foresters. “Playgrounds are important to communities, providing an open space where children can play safely.”
