Costa Rica is one of the happiest places in the world. One of the many reasons is that in the center of almost every town, city, and village, you will find a municipality park which includes a Children's Park. The community of Playa Grande has been growing steadily for years now, with close to 100 children living here, and the municipality has told us that if we want a park, we have to build it ourselves. So that is what we are doing.

Since the beginning of humanity, parks have played an important role in human development. Think about the Garden of Eden, or the Hanging Gardens or Babylon, or Central Park. The reason is simple! They provide us with healthy happiness and happy health. Parks bring balance, tranquility, peace, and a connection with nature. Parks are crucial to the healthy development of young human beings. Now, more so than ever, with the lurking evil of kids and screens.

We want our children in Playa Grande to have the same opportunities that children all over Costa Rica (and the world) have in terms of mental, social and physical development. The Children's Park of Playa Grande will help our children develop physically with the numerous innovative games, such as the Nest and the Net. Socially, children from Playa Grande will become closer because nothing brings kids together better than playing together in a park. The park will help our children develop mentally by being outside and active. Nothing helps the mind more than the body moving.

The funds will be used to move the terrain and dig ditches for water flow. There will be bathrooms with toilets and sinks. There will be a storage closet for cleaning materials and gardening tools. There will be a small roofed rancho for an escape from the sun or rain. We will be building non-traditional, innovatively creative games and puzzles on a 15m x 15m area for children to navigate. These games will be made with locally sourced natural materials like bamboo, wood, and rope. It will be a small little food forest with fruit trees spread throughout the park and bird attacking flowers filling the gardens. We are looking to build an amazing oasis amongst the recently developed concrete structures that now surround the park.

Please help our dream of providing a healthy and sane life for our children's development by donating to us through this platform. Please make sure you add the detail "Park" when making the donation after where you write your name. We are extremely grateful and hope that the next time you come to Playa Grande, you will be able to bask in the Pura Vida of The Playa Grande Children's Park. Deep gratitude!
