Help us build a playground worth growing up on.
Our green space is one of the best things about Evergreen. Now we're raising $10,000 to fill it with safe, modern play equipment our children will use every single day.

Why it matters
Play is how young children learn.
Climbing, balancing, sliding, and running build the strength and coordination children need for everything from holding a pencil to sitting still for a story. Outdoor play also teaches them to take turns, solve problems, and try again.
[CURRENT STATE: describe today's equipment honestly — e.g., aging pieces, nothing sized for toddlers, limited shade.] A new playground gives every age group, from our youngest walkers to our pre-K class, a safe place to move and explore.
Stronger bodies
Gross-motor skills like climbing, balance, and coordination.
Braver hearts
Confidence from trying something new and making it to the top.
Better friends
Sharing, taking turns, and playing pretend together.
Curious minds
A home base for Evergreen Explorers and outdoor learning.
