Play Research

There is a wealth of data on the power of play and the difference that unstructured play can make on the health and well-being of a child. The rising numbers of children suffering from obesity, ADHD and depression are alarming! We hope this research moves people to take action.

At KaBOOM! we create opportunities for the collaborative sharing and continued improvement of knowledge and tools that anyone needs to build or improve upon playspaces on their own. As advocates of play, we recognize the importance of each child not only having access to a safe and engaging place to play, but also having the time to play—knowing that it makes children happier, fitter, smarter, creative, and more socially adept.
