Playground Checklist – Updated for 2018

Bismarck Parks and Recreation District has 52 playgrounds in 63 parks. The playgrounds are unique, have themes (music, monkeys, wild west) and are accessible to all. BPRD’s Matching Grant program helped nine schools update playgrounds since 2014, too. We’re in the “Let’s Play” business!
