"I started Gronk Nation Youth Foundation so I can give kids who are less fortunate the opportunity that I had growing up, where I could go to a park, I had friends to play with, and I could compete at all times," says Gronkowski. Located on the Charles River Esplanade, Gronk Playground was built to be in an accessible area where kids (or Gronk himself) can play anytime they want."
"From his parents letting him and his brothers fight as kids, to college at the University of Arizona, to even being in the NFL, Gronk was partying through it all. However, as he has gotten older he's had to slow it down. "It's just getting older, man," he told Elder. "If I could feel like I was 22 years old again and go out all night and be able to wake up in three hours and get a full workout in, I would do that, but there's absolutely no chance that I would be able to. It's just growing up."
Rob Gronkowski remains a prominent Boston figure after three Super Bowl wins and professional retirement. He founded Gronk Nation Youth Foundation and opened Gronk Playground on the Charles River Esplanade to provide accessible play and sports opportunities for less fortunate children. Growing up with five brothers made sports central to his childhood and influenced his philanthropy. He was known for partying through college and the NFL but has slowed down with age and can no longer recover like he did at 22. Brands now sometimes view him as more responsible, though his personality remains lively.
