Mapping "play deserts"

Nate Berg, reporting for The Atlantic Cities:

To help understand the distribution of parks and the areas where access to them is low, KaBOOM! has launched a crowdsourced online park mapping effort. People can contribute to the map by adding the locations of parks and playgrounds in their neighborhoods, including images and information about the amenities the parks and playgrounds feature and ratings of their relative quality.

This is a perfect application of crowdsourcing.
