Find a Place to Play

chrisbrogan September 23, 2008 8

Playspace Finder Playspace Finder is a resource that mashes on top of Google Maps and gives parents a place to mark down a playground, notate what’s there, provide pictures, ratings, reviews and more. It’s a really great idea (and by great, I mean “simple”).

I did a quick scan of some areas around my house, and there are some play spaces already listed. That makes me feel really happy, because I felt like they already had me included (I wonder how they got all this data entered). But what makes it even better (from the participation perspective) is that it’s all unfinished, and that I have an opportunity to be helpful.

Here’s a quick snap of the options of things we can do there:

Pretty clever information spreading, KaBOOM. (You know these guys have the coolest job in the world, right? They make playspaces for kids.) By the way, shout out to Annie Lynsen from KaBOOM for the kazoos!

What do you think? Would you add a few things to a project like this?
