Pogo Park's mission is to reclaim and transform broken, underused parks in inner-city neighborhoods into safe, healthy, and vibrant outdoor spaces for children to play. We revitalize these parks as a way to promote healthy child development and dynamic community development.
Our strategy is to mobilize community residents and resources to create outdoor urban play spaces that foster both healthy exercise and the kind of imaginative free play that supports children's social, linguistic, physical, emotional, and creative development. We work shoulder to shoulder with community residents to plan, design, build, and manage these parks–and to weave these public spaces back into the social fabric of the community.
