I was wondering how I can edit my profile? There is no edit option on my page. Any information would help! Thank you!

As the Children's Program Coordinator for my public library and a mother of two, I get kids to play everyday. It is a passion of mine to get kids imagination booming and their legs moving! You don't need batteries or the latest technology to have fun. I want kids to understand the true meaning of play, which of course we all know is FUN!

We were excited today to see this story about a new Burke playground in Woodbridge, New Jersey! http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20120517/NJNEWS/305170057/Woodbridge-opens-new-playground-near-School-27

Youth need to do more tinkering & playing. I work for an international education nonprofit, so if anyone wants to chat about potential thought leadership collaboration on how we can take this to scale through curriculum development and cross-cultural connection, please let me know! scott@oneworldyouthproject.org

I am so excited to take a vacation day from work to build a playground with KaBOOM! in Anacostia this Friday!

Changes and fixes for the week ending 5/12/2012

• Help! We've added a new help page where you can send us a help request! Help page.


• If you've added a video to your project, the video will appear first, instead of your photos.


• When you complete a task, you will no longer switch to the Project Leader/Mile Marker 1 section. You will stay in the section where you are checking tasks off.


• We've added helpful reminders on certain pages and on certain actions that let you know about next steps you should take. For instance, if you've added a video for the contest, you'll see a reminder that tells you to complete your grant application.


• We've added City and State options to help donors and volunteers narrow down search results.


• Created a new badge: Maurice Sendak Tribute. Read all about it.


• You can now sort the comments within your project by Newest First, Oldest First, and by the poster's name (A-Z).


• Dozens of smaller errors from getting Team Members to appear correctly to fixing the alignment of content to comment dates and many more.

Many of those smaller errors we fixed were found by people like YOU!

We really appreciate all the phone calls and the emails we've received from our brave Early Adopters. The time you take to let us know of a problem really goes a long way towards making this a fantastic tool to help you plan your dream playground. Please keep those calls and emails coming-- and don't forget our new Help page too!

The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Bernardino is serious about providing young people in the community opportunities to play. In a time when childhood obesity is an increasing problem and budget cuts continue, BGCSB recognizes that it is vital to have safe places and spaces where children can be free to play, use their imaginations, laugh, and be children. During play, children have the opportunity to learn, create, and develop exponentially. BGCSB is committed to providing the children in the community of San Bernardino with those opportunities in helping them become productive, caring and responsible members of society.

I'm not sure how far Berlin is from Nashua, but there's a playground build taking place in Berlin. I thought that the Outside Connections Club might be interested in volunteering -- it'd be a great way to cap the summer of mapping! You can explore the project and reach out to its leader on Our Dream Playground at http://ourdreamplayground.org/projects/7914. It's scheduled for August.

Niagara Falls, NY has been awarded PlayFul City USA status for the 4th straight year. Congratulations!

Thanks for posting tons of photos to the Map of Play for Mesquite! Way to go!

Congrats on earning the 25 Playspace Finder badge!!

Check out this awesome video from the brand new, community-built playground at Streamland Park in Playful City USA, Pico Rivera, CA! This is such a great community that is so dedicated to its children!

Does your community have a group of talented youth that really love to perform? Why not build them their very own stage with a curtain for their grand entrance? The community of Lakeland, FL debuted this side project last week and the kids love it! This particular project combined two KaBOOM! side projects, a stage and a chalkboard, with a new project-a curtain frame-to create this great space. The finished product allows the performers to draw their own sets or backdrops, while having a large performance space, and a curtain for their opening entrances and curtain calls! The best part is that the curtain frame can be moved inside for winter or rainy days.

The curtain frame is made from PVC pipes and connectors, PVC cement, and outdoor-friendly canvas! Plans can be found online. While this plan can be adapted to create frames of any size, we found that a 10’ wide curtain at a height of 6’ to 8’ tall worked the best. It was also very simple to replace the pulley system with a simple set of 2” diameter rings, which were attached to grommets on the canvas.

Have fun!
