CAN ONE DAY REALLY MAKE A LONG-TERM DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF A CHILD?
YOU BET, WHEN THAT ONE DAY IS SPENT BUILDING A PLAYGROUND THAT WILL BRING YEARS OF ENJOYMENT TO NEIGHBORHOOD CHILDREN!
YEARS OF RESEARCH CONFIRM THAT PLAY IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN.
PLAY IS HOW THEY LEARN TO INTERACT WITH OTHERS, SOLVE PROBLEMS AND USE THEIR IMAGINATIONS.
THE CITY OF NORFOLK PARTNERED WITH KABOOM AND THE CHRYSLER FOUNDATION TO BUILD A BRAND NEW PLAYGROUND.

KABOOM IS A NATIONAL, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO HELPING COMMUNITIES BUILD SAFE, FUN PLAYGROUNDS IN THE COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY ARE MOST NEEDED.
