KABOOM is a non-profit organization based in Bethesda, MD, dedicated to ending playspace inequity. They work towards this mission by building community-built playspaces, advocating for public policy, providing grants for disaster and crisis recovery, and promoting the Play Everywhere initiative. KABOOM also partners with various organizations to create impactful and data-informed solutions, ensuring that every child has access to safe and inspiring playspaces. The Map of Play, a beloved project by KABOOM, was a comprehensive online resource for parents and caregivers to find, rate, and discuss playgrounds in their community. It served as a vital tool in identifying communities in the United States that lacked playspaces. Although the Map of Play website has been closed, the location information gathered continues to inform KABOOM's efforts in building inclusive and engaging playspaces for children across the country.Generated from the website
