About
A modest proposal.
Build More Playgrounds is an optimistic civic project, not an anti-wealth campaign. It applies the Carnegie library model to exceptional public playgrounds: communities provide land and stewardship, philanthropic capital helps create something enduring.
The operating model
Cities bring land.
Builders bring ideas and capability.
Donors bring capital.
Kids get something extraordinary.
What "playground ready" means.
- Committed public land
- Public access
- Municipal and community backing
- A credible designer or builder
- A preliminary concept
- An estimated project budget
- A long-term maintenance commitment
When you have extraordinary resources, build something ordinary people get to use.
