Commitment 1

Create a local play task force and/or commission! Gathering together to address common concerns is a unique part of the American tradition and the foundation for becoming a Playful City USA. Creating a play commission or task force that is recognized at the highest level of local government is critical for ensuring that an agenda on play is integrated into the daily operations of municipal life. Through the establishment of a play commission or task force, parents, children's advocates, business leaders, elected officials, parks and recreation officials, public safety officers and concerned citizens can come together to create and implement an action plan for creating and preserving children's playspaces. Note: To formally meet this goal, your play commission or committee must be recognized by the highest level of municipal leadership, with at least one member appointed by this leadership entity.
