Our Why

Because open space grows with us

We believe everyone should have a say in shaping the spaces they live, play, and gather in. Too often, park and open space design happens without the voices of the people who use them most. We're building tools that make it fun and easy for communities to co-create these spaces, whether that’s a pop-up park on a vacant lot or a long-term vision for a neighborhood greenway. At its core, this is about access, agency, and joy. We want to spark conversations, shift power, and help communities imagine what’s possible together.

"One might use Open Space Sandbox to re-energize underutilized spaces around town, or to design a crowd-pleasing temporary pop-up event in a public square. If it sounds like a real-life application of SimCity, well, it kind of is."
