A civic pitch for playgrounds built like landmarks
Build More Playgrounds proposes connecting public land, imaginative builders, and donors to create extraordinary public playgrounds.

- Cities, donors, and playground designers
- Worth noticing
- A sample Baltimore concept lists a $3.2–$4.0 million budget, no committed funding, and a $3.6 million gap.
Field notes
The proposal divides participation among people with money, land, and playground-building expertise, and the homepage offers separate invitations for each. Its examples include the Harbor Heron, a wetland-inspired Baltimore concept with climbing nets, slides, water play, and a listed funding gap. The page also points to four existing public playgrounds as precedents, while its matching and funding workflow remains a stated invitation rather than a verified service in the available evidence.
