Today we opened our second playground of 2022, at W. Wayne Bunker Family Park in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The new playground features play equipment from Miracle Recreation, a pioneer in manufacturing thrilling playgrounds for nearly a century. Play activities include classic equipment such as challenging climbers, overhead events and slides, and innovative elements like the Mini City Truck, which provides younger children an inclusive, fun and friendly play experience. The play space also includes poured-in-place rubber safety surfacing by No Fault® Surfaces.
“Making an impact in children’s lives is a priority for our Foundation,” explained Dale Gillmore, Founder and Board Chairman of Make An Impact Foundation. “We’re excited to return to Las Vegas in 2022 as we continue to expand our national #MAIFKidsPlay project across the United States. It’s not lost on us how fortunate we are to partner with these amazing businesses, FOX5 and Miracle Recreation to make an impact in Las Vegas.”
Make An Impact Foundation partners with organizations to create places where all kids have equal opportunity and ability to play freely without barriers. To make this exciting new play space a reality, Make An Impact Foundation worked with FOX5 and their Super Build Playground initiative to bring together community partners committed to serving the families of Southern Nevada. FOX5 documented the entire build from demolition to installation and will televise the grand opening of W. Wayne Bunker Family Park LIVE on FOX5 News. This new playground is made possible through amazing businesses of Las Vegas, including Southern Nevada Toyota Dealers, Barclays, Kinross Nevada, Les Olson Company, and Gene Haas Foundation.
A public grand opening celebration is scheduled for 1-3pm today at W. Wayne Bunker Family Park, located at 7351 W. Alexander Road. A DJ will spin some family-friendly tunes to further add to the excitement of this new playground opening and local children will take part in the festivities.
