What We Do
Expanding where and how communities play.
Training & Toolkits
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
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.
For local orgs, rec leaders
Pop-Up Play
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
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.
For events, neighborhoods, orgs
Community Design
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
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.
For parks, schools, and neighborhoods
Play takes consistent support.
Most events are free to attend. Every program is low cost to access. Monthly donors make that possible.
