The Boundless Playground Concept
It is exceptional to find a playground in a community that is barrier-free. Built so that all
children, with and without disabilities, can engage in productive play.
The NationalCenter for Boundless Playgrounds is the first national non-profit dedicated to
helping communities create extraordinary playgrounds where all children, with and
without disabilities, can develop essential skills for life as they learn together through play.
Boundless Playgrounds® provides leadership, training, technical and support services to
promote play environments that are barrier-free and provide children of all abilities
with developmental advantages. There are currently over 160 Boundless Playgrounds with
many more in the works.
Please join us in our quest to bring all children, no matter what their abilities, to a place
in our community where they can play, grow, learn and laugh together.
