Pogo Park

Revitalizing forgotten neighborhoods through play

Nearly 8,000 children live in Richmond's Iron Triangle, a one square mile area that is among the Bay Area's most densely populated, high poverty neighborhoods. Research shows that play boosts empathy and imagination in children, which has a positive and enduring effect on kids, families, and communities. Over three years, Pogo Park will transform three neglected parks in Richmond into magical play spaces for 8,000 at-risk children, and develop a scalable model and toolkit for other communities.
