Could a playground win this?
Strong fit High confidence
Playgrounds are not named, but the program pays to develop and renovate public outdoor recreation sites run by cities, counties and public schools. The funded site must stay in public outdoor recreation use forever.
In Missouri, LWCF is currently available to local governments and public schools for the acquisition, development and renovation of outdoor recreation sites.
All funded parks must be maintained in perpetuity for public outdoor recreational purposes.
