Blandin Foundation's Rural Placemaking Grants help maintain and improve the quality of rural Minnesota places so residents feel connected and proud of where they live. The latest round emphasized community spaces and civic joy, which can include shared outdoor spaces like parks and playgrounds.

Could a playground win this?
