<br>
Applications are open to U.S. based municipalities, neighborhood associations, schools, day care center, and nonprofit organizations without a playground or with unsafe play equipment. Applicants must own the land or possess a long-term lease and have permission
from the land owner to build a playground. <br>
<br>
KaBOOM! is specifically looking for communities with a demonstrated need for a playground, as well as the project’s impact on the area and its capacity to engage the community.
