CPRS, GameTime, PlayCore, Great Western Recreation, and MRC Recreation are partnering to promote Healthy Play through education and funding. This initiative supports the creation of evidence-based play and recreation spaces across California.
Education: Free professional development events, including CEU opportunities, will train parks and recreation professionals, landscape architects, educators, school administrators and play advocates on the role of play in building healthier communities.
Funding: GameTime is offering funding to CPRS members to establish National Demonstration Sites that prioritize inclusion, nature integration, physical activity, and adult fitness.
Impact & Advocacy: Data collection and outcome reports will highlight the benefits of play, supporting advocacy efforts and reinforcing the value of parks in California.
