Department of Parks and Recreation, Prince George’s County, Hour Generation Foundation, Faithful 2 The Grind, LLC, and KABOOM! Unveil New Multi-Sport Court at Jesse J. Warr, Jr. Recreation Building to Complete Kid-Designed, Community-Built Playspace Community joins forces with nonprofit to advance playspace equity in Prince George’s County

On Saturday, families in Fairmount Heights celebrated the completion of a kid-designed playspace at Jesse J. Warr, Jr. Recreation Building. The collaboration between The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Department of Parks and Recreation in Prince George's County, Jerami Grant’s Hour Generation Foundation, Markelle Fultz’s Faithful 2 The Grind, LLC, and KABOOM! began in October 2022 with a new, state-of-the-art playground and culminated this week as more than 200 event participants installed a new multi-sport court. The playground currently serves more than 700 children each year and as more young families move into the community, the addition of the multi-sport court to the playspace will provide kids with a high-quality, safe place to play that is close to where they live and learn.

Community members led the creation of the playground, from design to installation, including the kids who shared drawings of their dream playspaces with project organizers at a Design last July. The new multi-sport court completes the playspace and will provide hundreds of kids and their families with a renewed place to get active, build social bonds, and gather as a community.
