Beyond Walls was fortunate enough to be considered for a grant through KABOOM in 2020 to install a new playground in Lynn. Due to the pandemic, the grant award was delayed, but in August 2022, we had the honor of working in collaboration with @kaboom, the Department of Public Works, the Department of Community Development, @cityoflynn, @carmax, Councilor Starbard, Mayor Jared Nicholson, Lynn City Planning Department, Lisa Nerich, Lynn Parks and Recreation Department and 100+ amazing volunteers install a new playground at Cook Street Park in Lynn

We are so grateful to have collaborated with such incredible people with the shared mission and passion of providing the neighborhood a safe outdoor gathering space.

This work began with a conversation with KaBOOM! four years ago and with all the planning and camaraderie involved, the park’s completion has us feeling so much love. A million thanks to all involved in bringing this project to fruition.

Special thanks to @francoisstudioslynn for documenting this special experience!
