Play isn’t just fun—it’s essential.

We believe play isn’t just fun—it’s essential.
It builds confidence. Strengthens communities. Sparks healing and connection.
And yet, too many people still face barriers to recreational access.
That’s where we come in.

At Play for All Foundation, we work to eliminate those barriers by creating inclusive, low-cost, and adaptive recreation opportunities that meet people where they are—physically, emotionally, and socially.

Our Mission

To make play accessible to all—regardless of income, ability, or background.

Our Vision

A world where everyone—regardless of circumstance—can access the joy, freedom, and wellness that comes from play.


We envision communities that are healthier, more connected, and more vibrant because play is part of daily life, for everyone.

Our Story

Play for All Foundation began with a simple observation: that play was becoming inaccessible to too many people.

Whether due to income, disability, or limited resources in their communities, thousands were missing out on the vital experiences that play offers—joy, confidence, friendship, and healing.

From that seed grew a grassroots movement to make recreation not only available—but welcoming, adaptive, and joyful for everyone.

Since then, we’ve:

  • Funded community dreams like rec gardens and neighborhood tournaments

  • Helped individuals return to joyful movement through our workshops

  • Popped up in parks, schools, shelters, and sidewalks—bringing joy where it’s needed most

And we’re just getting started.
