Every Playful City USA community is actually required to upload 20 playspaces into the Playspace Finder.  We provide the paper audit sheet to use as a guide for you and your team of resident volunteers. 

Be sure, as we were reminded in yesterday's webinar, to check on-line first to make sure the playground isn't already in the Playspace Finder.  If it is, that gives you the opportunity to seek out new playspaces, encourage more on-line voters, or snap some additional pictures!

I would organize your playspaces in the Playspace Finder in a way that you think would be most beneficial to your community.  Typically, that tends to be "by type" - so if there is a tot lot and a 5-12 playgroun both on the corner of Main and Maple, it would make sense to enter them seperately because they have different potential users.  If the park at Main and Maple has five soccer fields (#1-#5) it might make more sense to enter them in as one entry, and then discuss the fields within that Playspace Finder Entry (#1 is near the elm tree, #3 sits lower by the pavilion, etc.).

The Playspace Finder first and foremost should be a usable tool for your community (citizens, new residents, visitors, etc.) so keep that in mind when you and your task force are entering playspaces.
