What We Do

Expanding where and how communities play.

For local orgs, rec leaders

We equip local partners with the tools to host inclusive, low-cost recreation independently. Play-leader guides, accessibility checklists, and adaptable program templates your team can pick up and run without starting from scratch.

  • Staff and volunteers learn by doing, not just reading

  • Toolkits customized to your program type and population

  • Checklists that flag barriers before they become problems

  • Templates your team can reuse season after season

  • Ongoing access to PFA resources and support

Pop-Up Play

For events, neighborhoods, orgs

Portable, low-cost activity stations that meet your community where it already gathers -- gyms, parking lots, greenways, and event corners. Designed for adults and kids of all abilities, with options that rotate based on the space and the people in it.

  • Stations set up and broken down in under an hour

  • Activities adapted on the spot for different ability levels

  • No registration, no barriers -- just show up and play

  • Runs inside existing events or as a standalone activation

  • Scaled to fit your space and your crowd

Community Design

For parks, schools, and neighborhoods

We work alongside neighborhoods, schools, and organizations to co-design inclusive recreation that fits how a community actually moves. We start by listening, then build practical solutions that make existing spaces more welcoming and usable for everyone.

  • Walkthrough of your space with an inclusion lens

  • Research with residents about what's missing

  • Recommendations that work within your existing budget

  • Solutions built around what's already there

  • Follow-up support to help partners implement
