Creative Girls Rock® is launching our Youth Enrichment Playground Initiative, a female-designed, community-centered playground that will serve youth and families at the Forward Creative Commons at Bordeaux in North Nashville.

In partnership with leading architecture and design professionals, girls ages 12–17 participated in an immersive design camp where they learned core principles of architecture, accessibility, safety, and inclusive planning. As their capstone experience, they created original playground concepts centered on creativity, belonging, and wellness and now we are bringing those designs to life.

We are raising $50,000 to construct a 600-square-foot playground that will provide safe, accessible outdoor play and creative activation space for girls, families, and seniors participating in our programs.
