Every child deserves a safe, welcoming place to play - but in Philadelphia, not every neighborhood has access to quality parks and playgrounds. That’s where Fair Play Philly steps in. This powerful initiative is working to ensure all kids - especially children in historically underfunded communities have equal access to safe, clean, and fun places to play.
Fair Play Philly is a coalition of community organizations, parents, and local leaders pushing for investment in parks, playgrounds, and rec centers in the neighborhoods that need them most. Their mission is clear: Every kid in Philly should have the right to play freely and safely, no matter their zip code.
Whether you're raising toddlers, teens, or in-betweens, you know how important play is for physical, emotional, and social development. Philly moms deserve to live in neighborhoods where we feel confident letting our kids run, jump, explore, and just be kids.
Supporting Fair Play Philly means advocating for equity, community care, and healthy childhoods across the city.
