The City of North Charleston was recently named a Playful City USA community by KaBOOM!

, the national non-profit dedicated to saving play for Americas children. 151 cities and towns across the country received the designation of which only 5 were recognized from the State of South Carolina. KaBOOM! created Playful City USA in 2007 to help local governments address the play deficit by ensuring children have the time and space they need to play. The power of play can impact many of the urgent problems facing our cities, from the epidemic of childhood obesity to poor school performance, said Darell Hammond, KaBOOM! Founder and CEO. When leaders support the cause of play, children live happier and healthier lives. North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey stated, The North Charleston Recreation Department offers a wealth of activities and space for play that promotes healthy lifestyles including sports for all ages at our many athletic complexes, senior programming in our community centers, afterschool and summer camps for our citys youth, and passive play at the numerous playgrounds dotting the city. Mayor Summey continued, We take great pride in providing our citizens with play areas and programming that rival the best in the nation.
