Garnet Hathaway Participates in KABOOM! Playground Design Day

ARLINGTON, VA - Washington Capitals player Garnet Hathaway visited the Bladensburg Community Center on July 21 to participate in a playground design session with children from the surrounding community.

Hathaway and the children drew their dream playgrounds during Design Day. Elements from the drawings will be incorporated into the final design for the new community playground, which will help address a lack of access to quality playspaces in the community.
The playground will be the seventh built with involvement by Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation and its teams.

KABOOM! is the national nonprofit that works to achieve playspace equity. Kids who don't have access to play miss out on childhood and are denied critical opportunities to build physical, social and emotional health. And all too often, it more deeply affects communities of color. So we amplify the power of communities to build inspiring playspaces that spark unlimited opportunities for every kid, everywhere. KABOOM! has teamed up with partners to build or improve 17,000+ playspaces, engage more than 1.5 million community members and bring joy to more than 11 million kids.
