KABOOM is a non-profit organization based in Bethesda, MD, dedicated to ending playspace inequity and ensuring that every child has access to safe and inspiring playgrounds. Through their community-built playspaces, public policy advocacy, and disaster and crisis recovery grants, KABOOM works towards their mission of providing unlimited opportunities for kids everywhere.
With their Map of Play project, KABOOM aimed to be the go-to resource for parents and caregivers to find, rate, and discuss playgrounds in their community. The website included tens of thousands of listings, allowing users to locate and celebrate the best playgrounds while identifying areas in need of improvement. Although the Map of Play has been closed down, the valuable location information continues to inform KABOOM's efforts in building inclusive and engaging playspaces for children across the United States.
