• Boundless Playgrounds is the first national nonprofit dedicated to helping communities create extraordinary barrier-free playgrounds where children, with and without disabilities, can develop essential skills for life as they learn together through play. 

“Play Together” Song Inspires Others- Carly Goodwin, a country music singer, was inspired by Boundless Playgrounds to record “Play Together.” The song was co-written by Carly’s husband Josh Kear, a Grammy nominee and ASCAP “Song of the Year” award winner for Carrie Underwood’s, “Before He Cheats.” Special thanks to Carly and her team, as well as Boundless Playgrounds’ longtime supporter Hasbro, Inc. for underwriting the recording of “Play Together.”
