An ADA-accessible elementary playground at Strafford Elementary will promote inclusivity, safety, and foster social interaction for all children, regardless of their abilities. It will ensure that all students, including those with disabilities, can participate in outdoor play and develop essential social and emotional skills. This investment will create an environment where every child feels welcome, supported, and empowered to engage, learn, and grow through play.

Investing in a new sports practice field will be a powerful way to support the health, development, and spirit of both students and the wider community. Also enhance safety through removal of the traffice between the football field and practice field. These fields will become essential spaces where students engage in physical education, build teamwork skills, and prepare for athletic competitions—fostering discipline, inclusion, and school pride. Beyond the school day, these same fields will serve the broader Strafford community by offering much-needed open space for recreation, fitness, and gathering. This project won’t just be about athletics—it will be about creating a shared asset that promotes safety, wellness, connection, and community pride. This project will be designed to improve safe routes throughout the Strafford campus, making it safer and easier for students to walk or bike to school. By addressing traffic patterns and enhancing connectivity, the project will reduce hazardous conditions and improve overall accessibility. Key improvements will include traffic- calming measures such as crosswalks , roadway modifications, and expanded parking—all aimed at slowing vehicles and improving pedestrian safety. These upgrades will not only enhance day-to-day school operations but will also create stronger connections between the campus, downtown, and surrounding neighborhoods—promoting a safer, more walkable Strafford for students and families alike.
