Transforming Our Playgrounds

  1. Updates

We are lucky enough to have the support of many local companies here in Metro-Detroit. Recently, a few of those companies have stepped up to help make our playgrounds a beautiful place. Painting a playground can have an amazing impact on the school community. Not only does it transform a drab and colorless playground into a bright and inviting place for kids to play, but it also helps to create a safer space for our students at Recess.

Please take a look at some of our playground transformations below.  And if your company would like to sponsor a Playground Painting, please contact our Development Manager, Sommer Brock, at 313.879.4934 or sbrock@playworks.org.
