Entries from hundreds of elementary children were
received in the naming contest to name the new
playground. The naming committee created
a short list of names to present to the Parks &
Recreation committee on October 14 and the City
Council on October 21. The official name of the
playground is:
Kids Cove
The grand prize winners and families were picked
up in a limousine, treated to their favorite Happy
Meal at McDonalds, and escorted to the new playground
for the grand opening ceremonies on October 26.
The naming contest winners were also the first
people to enter the new playground! (see photos..)
The first runner-up will be able to create their
own tile for the playground at Fired Up! and the
second runner-up will have their name engraved on
a baluster at the playground.
