A Play Space in Uvalde

Coming together to find hope and offer support and compassion for a community struggling in the wake of tragedy.

About the Program

The Archewell Foundation, in collaboration with KABOOM!, supported the creation of a playground in Uvalde, Texas, as a symbol of hope and healing for the community after the tragic shooting at Robb Elementary School in 2022. The park was designed by the children in the community, and it also includes a memorial scavenger hunt to honor the lives that were lost.

KABOOM! focuses on building playgrounds in underserved neighborhoods, and their work deeply aligns with AWF’s commitment to fostering joy and resilience through community.
