Massachusetts grants for acquiring land for conservation or recreation, building new parks, renovating existing parks, and trail work. Cities and towns with an Open Space and Recreation Plan on file with the state should apply, and park playground renovations fit the program's purpose.

Could a playground win this?

Strong fit Medium confidence

The program pays for building new parks and renovating existing ones, so a playground in a public park fits well, though playgrounds are not named on this page. It appears to be for municipalities, so schools, churches and nonprofits would need to partner with their city or town.

Interested in acquiring land for conservation or recreation purposes, building a new park, renovating an existing park, or doing trail work?
