The PLAY Boulder Foundation is a small nonprofit based in Boulder, Colorado, focused on advancing parks and recreation through education, philanthropy, and advocacy. It mobilizes community support to improve public spaces and broaden access to recreational opportunities, operating through three focus areas: placemaking, environmental sustainability, and access. The organization emphasizes improving parks, pools and related facilities, protecting urban trees, and making programs accessible to a broad range of residents. Placemaking efforts target enhancements to facilities and public spaces in Boulder, including initiatives around the Boulder Reservoir. In environmental sustainability, it aligns with local values by protecting trees and promoting pollinator-friendly planting and other urban-forest initiatives through programs like the Boulder Tree Trust. For access, it runs a scholarship program and supports programs serving disabled and underserved youth, and has recently announced a partnership with Street Wise Arts and Boulder Housing Partners to create accessible art opportunities for local youth.
