 Issue: Childhood Obesity For the first time in American history, our children's life expectancy may be shorter than their parents. Statistics: In Massachusetts, 1/3 of middle and high school students are overweight or obese. While 1 out of 7 children under the age of 5 are overweight or obese.
Playgrounds: Age appropriate, safe and secure, open playsgrounds for families to gather and kids to run, swing, jump and use their imagination. Born Learning Trails: These Trails have 10 fun outdoor games to help parents and caregivers create learning opportunities for a young child. The Trails help to boost children's language and literacy skills and encourage families to get active. |
