Los Angeles Kings captain Dustin Brown, the Kings team and nonprofit KaBOOM! wants communities to remember the importance of outdoor play for kids. Attend a Play Day block party near you, or plan your own.

Summer may be over, but playing is a year-round, four-season affair. Log on to www.kaboom.org/playday and you will you find a national directory listing all free and family-friendly Play Days taking place Sept. 19-27 by state and city. You’ll also get the know-how and other tools necessary to stage your neighborhood’s very own Play Day.

If you plan your event through KaBOOM!, you could also receive a free Play Day kit – valued at $100 – packed with toys, games and a limited-edition autrographed Dustin Brown Play Day card.
