The project launches to a terrific success as children from
Downbeach schools brainstorm to create the plan
that will create an incredible community playground.

CSURE (Community for Safe Usage of Recreation Environments) is a non-profit organization formed for the purpose of building a children’s inspired, custom designed playground in Ventnor. It is the children and their families that will take part in transforming the playground at nearby Somerset Avenue and Beach Park into a playground that will meet all children’s needs and abilities. The entire project from design to construction is a “grass roots” volunteer effort and will involve our entire community.

Our Mission is dedicated to creating a playground that conforms with ADA playground standards and will meet all children’s needs and abilities.

Our Goals are to encourage personal achievement and to promote physical development for all children. This, in turn, will better integrate special need kids with typically developing children through active play.

As hundreds of communities from across the country will testify, the benefits of community-built go well beyond the enormous cost savings.  The community-built experience offers a rare opportunity for individuals to collectively give something back to their community, resulting in a beautifully crafted, unique expression of shared pride.

Most importantly, however, is the community enrichment resulting from the volunteer-built experience.  Community built builds community.

CSURE.org chose this special project as our first initiative because our future is our children and we waned to give them the best and safest place to play. Thanks to all who helped in this project and the future generations who will help to take care of it.
