You should join next summer's playground challenge because you get to explore so many playgrounds you would otherwise miss. We used to go to the same ones all the times. Now after the challenge, we found so many fun places to go.

You should join next summer's challenge because it is FUN! My husband and I made it our summer family adventure to go out and find a new park every night after dinner. It was a blast trying out new spaces to play instead of going to the same park all the time! The new spaces encouraged my 2 year old to always try new things and really strengthened his body and confidence running, climbing, and sliding. The playground challenge was an excellent way to have fun adventures and make lasting memories playing outside with our little guy! We will continue to look for new parks and play together outside all year round!

You should join next summer's playground challenge because it gets your family moving! Seriously, I lost 9 lbs doing the playground challenge with my boys, and that doing nothing special except being outside and chasing after my kids! Plus, we got to discover all the awesome playgrounds that were so close to home. Not to mention, some new beach playgrounds to go visit. So get out and PLAY!

You should join next summer's Playground Challenge because you can do something great for your community, while having a blast with your kids and learning about your city all at the same time!

You should join next summer's Playground Challenge because IT PAYS TO PLAY! Your children will benefit from fresh air, socializing, learning about their community and exercising. You will benefit for all the same reasons + tired kids = earlier bedtimes haha.

My favorites have always been those with lots of trees / shades and trails for riding bikes. I don't know who are the ones that design the playgrounds with sand all over, that you have to walk on sand to get to the swing / slide... I personally can't stand it. Sand box should be separated from other play structures!!! Bonus: if the playground has great view!! We have some here on top of the hill or on higher parts of the city, and it's such a pleasure to be at those playgrounds.
