Friends of Grand Rapids Park is working to ensure that every child has a place to play within walking distance of their home. The maps enables Friends of Grand Rapids Park and the city of Grand Rapids to identify areas that are underserved by parks and playgrounds. Thanks to the map they are able to strategically plan where they will build the next playground.
