Another question on the audits: How many audits do we need per playspace to apply to become a Playful City?
Thank you!
I know the answer, and will post it in 72 hours (3/6/08), BUT
I will send 6 KaBOOM! kickballs to the first community advocate from around the country who posts the correct answer here in the forums.
(Sherms, thanks in advance for letting me use your question to test our network...)

I believe the answer is...
We have a county park that has several different playgrounds, fields and basketball courts throughout.
Would that be considered 1 playspace or could we divide it up.
Each playground is entirely different from the next.
Let me know. Thank you!
Here's what i wrote in an earlier post, hope it helps!
I would organize your playspaces in the Playspace Finder in a way that you think would be most beneficial to your community. Typically, that tends to be "by type" - so if there is a tot lot and a 5-12 playground both on the corner of Main and Maple, it would make sense to enter them seperately because they have different potential users. If the park at Main and Maple has five soccer fields (#1-#5) it might make more sense to enter them in as one entry, and then discuss the fields within that Playspace Finder Entry (#1 is near the elm tree, #3 sits lower by the pavilion, etc.).
The Playspace Finder first and foremost should be a usable tool for your community (citizens, new residents, visitors, etc.) so keep that in mind when you and your task force are entering playspaces.
