Planning Their Own Playground

LaToya

Who knows best what should be in a playground? Kids, of course! On August 29, 12 children at Pomonok Houses sat down with the folks from KaBOOM!, NYCHA’s partners in play, to draw their perfect playgrounds. Elements of those drawings will become real pieces of the new playground to be constructed at Pomonok Houses on Saturday, November 4. Funders JetBlue and Playword are enabling NYCHA, the Fund for Public Housing and our NextGen NYCHA Plays partner KaBOOM! to create the first of what they hope will be many child-designed playgrounds at NYCHA developments.
