This all came about with a grant from KaBOOM!, a national non-profit dedicated to bringing active play into children’s daily lives. Out of 200 finalists in KaBOOM!’s Play Everywhere Challenge last year, the City of Richmond was among 50 winners across the county. The challenge called for communities to reimagine what and where a play space is and can be; they had to think outside the box. $1 million in prizes were awarded to the 50 winners, a fraction of which went to the Mathieu Court Alley Play Street. This project has been a very communal effort. RAC held a community input session where local residents could also have a voice to help the kids consider how the alley was designed, families who live in the neighborhood came out and helped paint, and local residents are full of innovative ideas to keep adding to this amazingly transformed alleyway. There is still more work to be done, and Schaffran tells us they look forward to a ribbon cutting soon. We’ll try and keep you posted, but be sure to keep in touch with RAC in regards to this, and everything else they’re up to, at richmondartcenter.org or call (510) 620-6772. “We’re kind of having a boom in terms of our education programming,” said Schaffran. “We’re open to the public, we’re free! Our classes are fee-based but we have scholarships for all ages, so we keep encouraging people to come and check us out.” Getting to Know Richmond You are invited to Hilltop Family Dental to see how truly great a visit to the dentist can be!
