Why it matters
Safe playgrounds help kids stay healthy, make friends, and learn important skills. This investment shows local government working together to give children in Alief better places to play and grow during school.

Three Alief schools get new, safe playground equipment that meets current safety standards. Kids will have better places to exercise, play, and develop social skills.
