The Big SandBox

The Big SandBox The Big SandBox works to mobilize communities around sustainable design and create meaningful places.

The Big SandBox strives to mobilize urban communities around green infrastructure and produce meaningful community spaces: schoolyards, urban parks and other places. We engage key stakeholders—grass roots community organizations, and city, state and federal agencies—to cultivate large-scale community change by supporting model projects and initiatives that begin at the local and neighborhood level.
