Play360

Play360 trains organizations to build low-cost sustainable playgrounds as a means of improving education throughout the developing world.

To save money, time, and other resources, Play360 utilizes local materials, local labor and local tools. Play360 playgrounds are designed for widespread adoption. We use locally accessible materials such as concrete, tires and logs. Playgrounds are built with shovels, hammers, saws and machetes – tools readily found in almost all communities. Play360 provides local organizations a series of pictographic instructional books that allow community members – without the need of literacy skills – to build each playground element. Play360 trains local organizations who, in turn, work with many schools. Training local organizations is essential to wide-spread impact; local organizations are immediately connected with the language, the communities, and stakeholders. Emphasis on the local allows organizations to maintain, repair and expand playspaces and learning resources as needed.
