Pogo Park

Pogo Park is based in one of the Bay Area’s toughest inner-city neighborhoods, Richmond’s Iron Triangle, and is working to transform little-used city parks into safe and vibrant places for children to play. They have a team of local residents who plan, design, build, and manage the parks themselves. Demand for their park development expertise is growing, and they are partnering with a renowned playground equipment designer to produce playgrounds and design more parks. REDF provided a planning grant to help build out a business plan for this new social enterprise.
