Playworks Wisconsin

Through play, kids practice critical, durable skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

These are skills they’ll rely on in the classroom, in their communities, and in future workplaces.

When students take turns, lead games, or resolve conflicts on the playground, they’re developing habits that prepare them for success.

The first Healthy County Challenge Community Field Day was a hit!

Huge shoutout to Playworks Wisconsin for getting everyone moving and having a great time — y'all brought the energy! And a big thank you to the Milwaukee Parks Foundation for your continued partnership in making days like this happen.

DJ GidMoney kept the good vibes going all afternoon long, and we're so grateful to Public Allies Milwaukee, YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee, and Milwaukee County Aging Services for bringing important resources to the community.

This one's already going down as a favorite…Let’s do it again next year!
