- Our Rooftop Playground: The Pediatric Department cares for more than 22,000 Boston area children. Some of these children face debilitating and life threatening illnesses. Hospitals are no fun for critically ill children. Children love to play outside, but illness often makes it hard to enjoy themselves and forget their cares.
A playground at the hospital with equipment to climb on in fresh air and sunshine would give children a chance to play and forget their illness. A safe and whimsical rooftop playground was designed and built through the efforts of The Kids Fund and a generous cast of supporters, including the Boston Celtics basketball team and Mayor Thomas Menino.
