USA Today, along with the help of KaBOOM!, a national playground non-profit, recently compiled a list of the country’s best cities for children’s playgrounds. Columbus ranked #2 on the list, topped only by San Francisco. Our city has a total of 140 public play spaces, and was noteworthy because of our strong public-private partnership task force that funds the Safe Playgrounds Initiative.
Downtown Columbus gained two large new play spaces this summer with Columbus Commons, which includes a carousel and weekly children’s programming, as well as The Scioto Mile, which features a world-class public fountain system that children have been playing in every day this summer.

So funny cause I just wrote about this on my client’s blog yesterday! KaBOOM is so awesome for recognizing cities that are advocating for more active kids. Glad Columbus is on the list.
This is too awesome! Thanks, Walker for the info! Glad to see some good press for Columbus.
