The Need

THE PLAYGROUNDS

​​The Sudbury Public Schools elementary school playgrounds are outdated.  The surfaces are not up to Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) standards, and much of the equipment is not ADA compliant and nearing end-of-life.  In order to provide a safe, accessible play environment for our children to grow and thrive, we need to do some updating.

​The playgrounds are a wonderful town asset.  Because of the nature of playgrounds as a place for congregating, 

exploring, and exercising, we have a unique opportunity to make these playgrounds appealing to not just students, but to a wider community of all ages.  Accessible surfaces for a student with a mobility device are also impact-friendly surfaces for an older person with knee and hip issues.  Shade and tables can not only provide respite for children at play, but can also serve as a congregation point for caregivers and an outdoor meeting place for all citizens.  All individuals and families in Sudbury will have the opportunity to benefit physically, socially, and emotionally from this project. ​
