SPACE is a passionate La Crosse collective comprised of parents and residents dedicated to ensuring the safety and sustainability of our community spaces, particularly playgrounds.

Jamie will share an inspiring journey that started with a student's research project and evolved into a thriving community movement.

Her talk will delve into the significant findings from the research and the actionable steps taken. 

As a result of these discoveries, ongoing efforts are now underway to replace synthetic materials, like recycled rubber, with alternatives that are more environmentally friendly such as wood chips, sand, and grass.

Join us to discover the compelling reasons driving this important transition.
