Federal outdoor recreation grants run by Missouri State Parks for buying, building and renovating public outdoor recreation sites. Missouri cities, counties and public school districts can apply. Funded sites must stay in public recreation use permanently.

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.
