Henderson Nevada Nationally Recognized as a Place to Play

MoonscapeDreamer — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:37:26 +0000

KaBoom!, a national non-profit organization that empowers communities to build playgrounds, has recognized Henderson, Nevada as a Playful City USA for 2009.

This is the second year in a row that Henderson has received this recognition. Henderson is the only community in Nevada to receive this endorsement.

In the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Kim Becker, a spokeswowan for Henderson Parks and Recreation is quoted as saying, “It’s an honor for us. It shows us we’re going in the right direction with everything we’ve been doing.”

Becker also said that Henderson has been able to improve old playgrounds and develop new ones thanks to grants from the Bureau of Land Management over the years.

Henderson has designated Sept. 24 as its official “Come Out and Play Day.” During the day, more than 400 children at 37 different Henderson sites will celebrate the fun and importance of play with simultaneous activities in the afternoon. Activities include art contests, relays, swimming, jump rope and more.
