NYC youth create places for their communities to play and learn outdoors.

Upper Manhattan children suffer from some of the highest rates of obesity and related diseases in NYC. At Concrete Safaris, children as young as age 7 learn to ask their community how they would like to address this serious epidemic by improving how the spaces around their homes and schools are used. They have transformed over a half-acre of NYC Housing Authority property into children's gardens, testified in support of neighborhood bike lanes, created bike maps for their neighbors to use and taught cycling lessons, and designed an annual obstacle course race and carnival for children and adults.
