About
KABOOM! works with communities to build incredible, kid-designed play spaces. Kids who don’t have access to a place to play miss out on childhood and are denied critical opportunities to build physical, social and emotional health. We envision a world where every kid can get the play they need to thrive, regardless of race, zip code and family income.
For more than three decades, we’ve teamed up with bold, inspiring partners and community members, starting with the kids themselves, to understand each neighborhood’s unique aspirations. Then we build incredible places to play, inspired by their design, courage and leadership.
Over the last 33 years, we’ve built or improved 17,000+ play spaces, engaged more than 1.5 million community members and brought joy to over 11 million kids. As we look to the future, we’ll continue our efforts to build collective action and community opportunity, spark hope and enable kids to reach their full potential. And we promise that we won’t stop until we put an end to play space inequity. For good.
