Let's Build a Playground

“There’s no place to play!” Many children say those words. There may be only an empty lot, a small field, or a concrete square where kids can play games and bounce balls. If there is a playground in a park or a schoolyard, it may have just a slide and a couple of swings. In some places, there really is no place to play.

So the kids and the parents in some communities decide it’s time for a new playground. But a new playground costs a lot of money. Even a small one might cost $25,000, and a really big one might cost almost half a million dollars. How can a town afford a playground?

They can do it if they build the playground themselves—and this book shows you how.
