Building Community while building your playground
There’s something particularly satisfying about watching kids run, jump and climb on a playground built by a community. Community built playgrounds bring out the best in people. Not only are they building a gathering space, but they’re helping build community pride and a sense of ownership. Even more, these volunteers are helping the school or community save on installation costs. As you begin the playground planning process, community build playground projects can be a money-saving alternative. These projects also create wonderful opportunities for bringing neighbors and communities closer together.
We understand the importance of making it easy for community members to collaborate on everything from goal setting and design through equipment assembly and maintenance. That’s why Landscape Structures has created a guide, which outlines everything including how to recruit and organize the volunteers, gather necessary tools and build a schedule to help execute the installation.
Building a playground community build not only fosters a sense of togetherness but also encourages active involvement in the improvement of shared spaces. Community build playground projects like this are about more than just constructing a playground—they’re about building bonds that last.
