Our Dream Playground

In partnership with KaBOOM! and Warner Music Nashville we are looking to create play space for children in need in East Nashville. This is an opportunity for our community to build a dream playground conceived by the children who will use it, in a safe, supervised location - McNeilly Nashville Child Center. Volunteers with a variety of skills are needed on October 25th (Build Day) to help build the much needed playspace, that will give play back to the kids who need it most. In just one day volunteers, like you, will give children in need the place for healthy play and exercise that they deserve.

How You Can Help

There are two ways to get involved. You can RSVP if you're interested in showing up on Build Day and lending a hand for an unforgettable day of community service. Or, if you want to play a key role in the months leading up to Build Day, you can ask to join a planning committee team.

RSVP for Build Day

No experience necessary! Whether you're piecing together playground equipment, mixing concrete, hauling mulch, or painting benches, all you need to build a Dream Playground is a smile and a can-do spirit.  RSVP

Join the Planning Committee

Want to get more involved? The playground may get built in one day, but it takes many months of planning to make a playground dream come true. Whether you want to find food for Build Day, get press for the project, or plan an awesome fundraiser, there are many ways to offer a helping hand.  CLICK HERE to email for more information about the Planning Committee and the upcoming Design Day!
