    Built playgrounds in America's poverty stricken communities.

    America’s kids are playing less than any previous generation. Only one in four adolescents get the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity or active play per day, with the number of younger kids only slightly higher. Because of this, they are increasingly unhappy, unhealthy and falling behind: one in three kids is obese or overweight and one in five kids has a mental illness. Moreover, kids are not developing critical 21st century skills—such as collaboration, creativity, problem-solving, resilience and empathy—that they will need to succeed as adults in the global economy. Additionally, one of the major barriers to healthy development — particularly for the 16 million children living in poverty — is toxic stress.

    In particular, low-income families and children face many structural obstacles to play. For example, declining recess, a lack of safe places to play, overly-structured schedules, too early specialization, and too much screen time have all replaced balanced and active play.

    However, families and children also face behavioral barriers to play, as research shows that families want to play — and know that it is important - but often do not make the decision to play, even if a playground is relatively close by.

    To enable kids and families to play more, KaBOOM! stays to address structural barriers to play by continuing to lead Build it with KaBOOM! playgrounds and provide grants. However, we are also promoting Playability, or the extent to which a city makes it easy for all kids to get balanced and active play. This is a kid and family focused pillar of urban development that will allow cities to address the behavioral barriers of play.
