Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Youth Centers & Clubs
Mission: Swing higher playgrounds was founded to impact the children of underserved communities by coordinating volunteers and resources to create one of a kind playspaces in disadvantaged neighborhoods. These playspaces are designed to be fun and safe environments where children are playfully engaged in unknowingly developing critical life skills. We partner with local communities to design, fund, and build these incredible playspace environments in the heart of underserved areas. Not only does each project give more underserved children access to amazing playspaces, but we believe that when a community comes together, when people choose to serve one another, and when god shows up, our playspaces can impact, inspire, and truly change lives.
Programs: In august of 2014, swing higher playgrounds completed its first playspace project at douglas park. Located just east of downtown nashville situated between ellington parkway and main street, fred douglas park was one of the many areas under water during the flood of 2010. At that time a children's center located on the park's grounds was destroyed, and before this summer a lone sign still standing was the only reminder of what once was. Today a vibrant playspace exists that serves as a gathering spot for the more than 500 children who live in this community. We believe that every child deserves a safe place to play. A place where friends meet, family's commune and kids learn to engage and grow with one another in a fun and active environment and we are honored to be a part of giving that gift to the douglas park community.
