It’s being touted as the latest weapon in the war against child obesity – an all-action techno-playground designed to lure youngsters away from TV and video games.

The Neos gaming system is the first of its kind in the country after being launched in America.

Players race against the clock to touch the blinking lights housed in four big consoles while music and sound effects create a dramatic atmosphere.

Below is a list of playground equipment grants for your school, church, daycare or non-profit.  Every attempt will be made to keep this current. Your support & response is appreciated to make sure all links are current.  Let’s get our kids back outside again!!!
