Every child can learn, play, and grow outside
The Lincoln Outside Initiative brings families, educators, and neighbors together to reimagine the Lincoln School’s historical outdoor spaces — making them sustainable, accessible, and inclusive for every child.
Led by the Lincoln Green Team, our work starts with restoring the funding in the town budget. From there, we’ll guide a community-driven design and development process to create outdoor spaces that foster play, learning, and connection.
Our goal is to give every Lincoln student a safe, accessible, and fun place to learn and grow outside.
There is no accessible outdoor path from the Kindergarten doors or playground for every day pick-up/drop-off or emergency egress
Lincoln students and neighbors play in the dirt and mud while other Brookline students play on grass and turf
Our play structures are over 30 years old. Students are getting injured with at least 5 broken arms in the last year, including 3 since the beginning of the 2025-26 school year
As the home of Brookline's Adaptive Learning Center, Lincoln needs adaptive playgrounds to meet the needs of all students
