KaBOOM! is a national nonprofit organization that envisions a great place to play within walking distance of every child in America. We rally communities to achieve better public policy, funding and public awareness for increased play opportunities nationwide, provide resources for communities that wish to plan a new playspace on their own, and bring together children, business and community interests for a select number of community playspace builds each year.
