Now Playing Near You
Looking for action and adventure for the whole family? Check out the playgrounds in your neighborhood on our Map of Play. See what the critics are saying about these playgrounds, and add your voice. Join the paparazzi by taking a photo of your favorite playground and posting it here. And if your favorite playground isn’t listed, add them! to our map.
By giving your playground the star treatment, you’ll help us create a comprehensive guide to local playspaces and identify Play Deserts – neighborhoods critically lacking parks or playgrounds. When we find a Play Desert, we can focus our efforts there so that hopefully a new playground will be “coming soon.”
