Does your employer or an organization you support offer grants? Please let us know by emailing parkviewcenterschoolplayground@gmail.com!

Our Inclusive Playground Committee has gathered data, community input, photos, a playground assessment, and cost estimates. We are here to provide the details for all grant applications, but some grants require an employee or member to initiate the application, and you could unlock a fantastic opportunity. 🔑

Learn more about why an inclusive playground matters by reading our "Value of Play Short Summary" below. Thank you for supporting this important project for our community!

💜 Why Your Support Matters:

• Respect: Every student deserves a space to play, grow, and feel valued.
• Equity: Inclusive play ensures all students access the social, emotional, and physical benefits of play.
• Responsibility: While Roseville School District maintains existing playgrounds, funding new structures is up to each school. Parkview's Upper Playground needs replacement, and we’re committed to creating a new space where all students can play. Together, through grants and donations, we can make this dream a reality.

Thank you for your continued support!
