FANS of Play advocates for more Fitness, Arts, Nature, and Science in outdoor play environments. These play opportunities are necessary in today's world and more beneficial towards building healthier lifestyles. They can provide more physical, emotional, social, and cognitive benefits to better deal with current issues such as the disconnect with nature, responsible environmental stewardship, obesity, bullying, and STEM learning.
FANS of Play recognizes the need for play opportunities to be Fun, Accessible, Nurturing, and Safe. These play opportunities can be created with easy-to-install playground borders, swing mats, protective surfacing, age-appropriate playground equipment, recommended lay-out, and efficient, cost-effective use of resources. You can do-it-yourself while FANS of Play guides you through the process and refers reputable playground or landscaping companies.
FANS of Play supports Fundraising, Advertising, Networking and Social Media Sharing. There is a great deal of important work being done in the field of 'play' and this work relies on strong fundraising, advertising, networking, and social media sharing to advance those important goals.
