Play is a crucial factor in the overall well-being of children. But play in many communities, schools, and families has been pushed to the back burner. Fewer kids spend time every day at a park or playground, recess is disappearing from curriculums, and playgrounds are missing from community and neighborhood development plans. Through the Playmaker Network and the Playful City USA Campaign, the KaBOOM! National Campaign for Play seeks to make play a priority in communities across the nation. More...

Question about Application, a city or a community?
Posted: 22 Apr 08 9:17 AM

I was wondering when I am uploading my playspace audits do I include any playspace that are within the city only or also spaces that are part of our community but not within the city?  We have several playspaces that are not with in the city limites of Bloomington but have a Bloomington mailing address so i would consider it our community.

Thanks!

I think you've answered your own quesiton!  If you and others in Bloomington consider it part of your community, then I think adding it to an online resource like the Playspace Finder makes perfect sense!
