Eat Play Breathe

York is a

community-based
movement
seeking to ensure
that healthy
lifestyle choices
are always
available and
convenient for
those who live,
work, play and
learn within the City of
York.
By listening to and
understanding the needs of
community members, forming local
partnerships and implementing
policy, system and environmental
changes that promote healthy
eating and physical activity, and
decrease tobacco use and
exposure, we believe that we can
create a healthier York for the
current and future generations.

About Us
Bring On
Play(BOP) is a
committee of
individuals and
organizations,
working together to
increase play opportunities
within the City of York.
Established in 2008, BOP has
successfully renovated 5 City
parks, hosted innumerable play
events and has created a spirit
of fun for children and adults
alike!

Our Mission
BOP's mission is to renovate
one playground per year in the
