Trust For Public Land

Founded in 1972, The Trust For Public Land creates parks and protects land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come. Every park, playground, and public space they create is an open invitation to explore, wonder, discover, and play. Millions of Americans live within a 10-minute walk of a park or natural area we helped create, and countless more visit every year.

Get Involved

The Trust for Public Land has transformed more than 200 barren asphalt schoolyards in New York City into vibrant community playgrounds. And after school and on weekends, these new playgrounds open their gates to the entire community.

But there is still work to be done. Thousands of kids are still without playgrounds nearby. As the organization works to create new playgrounds, they need help bringing them to life. Contributions will empower the schools they work with to provide creative outdoor experiences at their playgrounds, providing programs like gardening and healthy foods curriculum, nature-based math learning, or outdoors movement sessions.
