Power of Urban Play

The Power of Urban Play: Unleashing the Role of Play Environments as Community Assets is a national report that reflects the research and viewpoints of urban park and recreation leaders from across the country.

Sponsored by PlayCore, the Power of Urban Play identifies the unique characteristics of urban communities and defines best practices that address their needs and challenges and helps them develop and maintain meaningful play environments.

The report is designed to help communities:

• Understand the critical role of play in urban communities
• Define the trends and unique attributes of urban playgrounds
• Identify best practices for developing and maintaining valuable, community-oriented playgrounds

This report is part of an ongoing initiative by PlayCore to promote the value of urban play by providing community resources and education and affecting public policy. Download the executive program summary or request a copy of Power of Urban Play by using the form below.
