The Big SandBox works to mobilize communities around sustainable design and create meaningful places.

The Big SandBox strives to mobilize urban communities around green infrastructure and produce meaningful community spaces: schoolyards, urban parks and other places. We engage key stakeholders—grass roots community organizations, and city, state and federal agencies—to cultivate large-scale community change by supporting model projects and initiatives that begin at the local and neighborhood level.
