Wichita Named A Playful City USA |
Wichita Named A “Playful City USA”
Date: August 7, 2009

: (316) 268-4351
First Kansas community to receive recognition
The City of Wichita is one of 94 communities across the nation to receive the 2009 “Playful City USA” honor. The recognition was awarded by KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit which promotes a great place to play within walking distance of every child in America. In the third year of this program, KaBOOM! selected Wichita for its dedication and commitment to outdoor play. Wichita is the first Kansas community to receive this recognition.
The designation recognizes the work of the newly formed Wichita Play Commission. The Commission is focused on providing an abundance of opportunities for children and families to play by working on multiple action plans. One action plan features the development of a mobile play space-pilot program. The program would provide an opportunity for mobile play space equipment to be loaned by local nonprofit groups to residents for use in unstructured play areas and group events.
“This is a great honor and it shows Wichita is doing what it takes to keep our youth engaged in fun and healthy activities,” Wichita City Council Member Lavonta Williams said. “After watching other communities receive this award at the National League of Cities two years ago, I knew Wichita had what it took to become a playful city.”
