Plain-English Summary

A playground at New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia would be officially renamed to honor children and families affected by childhood cancer. The new name, "Hearts of Gold Playground," would serve as a tribute to these families while maintaining the playground as a public space for visitors to the national park. This change is primarily symbolic and does not affect how the playground operates or who can use it.
