Kids still deserve more than concrete. We still need your signature on The Trust for Public Land's petition to help transform concrete public schoolyards into vibrant community spaces today! Add your name now!     SIGN THE PETITION   Friend, Parks are essential for healthy, equitable communities, but across America, 100 million people — including 28 million kids — don’t have a park close to home.    There is a common-sense, cost-effective solution to address this park equity gap : Turning existing public schoolyards into vibrant, shared outdoor spaces that benefit the entire community. Transforming these concrete spaces into community parks will bring significant health and educational benefits not just to students, but the communities they serve — but we need your help to make this happen.        Add your name to The Trust for Public Land's petition. Help turn our nation’s concrete schoolyards into vibrant parks for kids and communities by urging Congress to prioritize Community Schoolyards™ projects.            SIGN ON           American public schools own a combined two million acres of land. While some schools use that land for community purposes, many schoolyards remain closed to the public outside of school hours. Many more are just slabs of concrete used for playgrounds.        SIGN: Tell Congress to help transform concrete public schoolyards into vibrant community spaces today!              SIGN ON           The Trust for Public Land.  The Trust for Public Lands.
