More fun, more often, for more people and other living things.

Boundless Playgrounds

Boundless Playgrounds "enable all children -- including those with physical, developmental, cognitive and sensory disabilities -- to experience independent, self-directed play, each at his or her own highest level of ability."

What a concept! What a gift! What a valuable, meaningful, personally and socially enriching thing to be doing. Playgrounds designed so that everyone can play, as much as they want. Every body and every mind. I know. I know. It's asking to much to think that adults could play too - that there'd be things for us to play with that would allow us to play with each other, with all our glorious differences.

But let's not get carried away. O, what the heck. Let's. Let's look at this wonderful virtual tour of what might go into a Boundaryless Playground. Let us seriously consider supporting their wonderful cause with, at least with the purchase of a small gift. And let us dream of how boundaryless we could make it.

When we lived in Stamford, CT, a Boundless Playground was built at my daughters' school. It was a great boon to my eldest, who has some gross motor, gravitational and sensory deficits.

It became the school's primary playground, and is always busy on the weekends. "Normal" kids love it, too.

A very worthwhile cause...and a personal one for me.
