KABOOM! Playgrounds

KABOOM! is a prominent North American non-profit organization dedicated to ending playspace inequity. Founded in Washington, D.C., the organization works with communities and corporate partners to design and build state-of-the-art playgrounds specifically in underserved areas. Their mission is rooted in the belief that every child deserves a safe and engaging place to play to ensure physical and emotional development.

While KABOOM! manages the project planning, community engagement, and design phases, the actual manufacturing of the physical playground structures is typically handled by specialized partner manufacturers across the United States. The organization remains an independent 501(c)(3) entity, relying on a model of collaborative funding and volunteer labor to revitalize urban and rural recreation spaces. Ownership of the equipment usually transfers to the local municipality or non-profit partner upon completion of the build.
