GameTime Cares
Since 1929, GameTime has been committed to the
success of park and recreation departments. Parks provide essential services and are important to the physical,
social-emotional and cognitive development of children
and families. Parks promote equity and are an important
resource for people from all walks of life.

Assistance Now and for the Future
Now, more than ever, park and recreation departments
are looking for assistance with projects. To help you plan
for what's happening right now and for what comes next,
GameTime created the GameTime Cares™ Customer
Assistance Program. GameTime Cares is a comprehensive collection of services to support you as you navigate
these uncertain times. It includes free storage of playground and ﬁtness equipment for up to 90 days, up to
100 percent ﬁnancing on new outdoor recreation products, QuickShip™ play systems that ship in three to ﬁve
days, and grant funding for play and recreation products.

to be part of a collaborative live internet broadcast, called

brings together leaders in the park and recreation industry
to share ideas, best practices and other good news during
diﬃcult times. Viewers are encouraged to submit questions for the panelists and participate in a lively discussion
of a wide range of topics that are relevant to everyone who
advocates for outdoor recreation. View the show schedule

and touchless) and include a lock to make sure
hand sanitizer stays in the park for visiting children
and families. Find the right Hand Sanitizer Station
