Better Together Playground is grateful and excited to be recognized as a National Demonstration Site!

Due to its research based design, it has been designated as a project of excellence for meeting best practices for youth development and well-being.

We know that a thriving community is dependent on thriving children.

This playground will not just include all, but benefit all. Outdoor play is vital to all children's physical, social and even cognitive wellbeing.

So start planning those playdates!!

June 15th: Enjoy food trucks, free activities and LOTS of playing.
