🛝 Help us reimagine our playground! 🌳

You may have heard that we’re starting the process of applying for grant funding next year with the hope of revitalizing the Town Hall playground! 🛝

The playground has been a part of our community for many years, but it’s been more than a decade since it was significantly redesigned. As we start thinking about what comes next, we want to make sure we’re hearing from the people who know playgrounds best: our kids, their families, and the people who use this space!

Before we start putting plans on paper, we want to know what you’d love to see in a new and improved Town Hall playground. What works? What doesn’t? What’s missing? What would make you want to spend more time there?

This is just the beginning, and your ideas can help shape where we go from here! Whether you’re a kid with BIG playground ideas or a grown-up with thoughts on what would make the space better for you and your family, we want to hear from you. Grown-ups, grab your kiddos and fill out the survey together! There are no bad ideas. We want to know what you’d love to see, what’s missing, and what would make our playground a place the whole community can enjoy.

Share your ideas in our survey here: https://bit.ly/4yBLaDx

And there’s more fun coming! 👀

→ Interested in helping make it happen? Keep an eye out for another survey in the next few weeks for grown-ups who may be interested in joining or helping with our Playground Revitalization Committee.

→ Calling all future playground designers! Kids will have a chance to dream up their ultimate playground in our Design a Playground Contest, opening next month! Start thinking BIG because we want to see what you’d build in your dream community playground! ✨

Thank you to Boston Town Supervisor Jason Keding for hosting us and recognizing the importance of accessible government services‼

📍 Boston Town Hall
