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 communities while maintaining the playground's current function for park visitors. This change requires congressional approval and is currently under review by the Senate's energy and natural resources committee.
