it starts with a playground

Sit on a Bench

You can help make your park safer simply by sitting on a bench. But you’ll need the help of a couple of friends, too.

Organize a playground or park watch. Sit on a bench at your local park with a friend to make sure the kids are safe and people aren’t committing vandalism. Make sure you have a cell phone to report any suspicious activity. Make a habit of it and people will start to see the park as a safe place to bring their kids.
