Named as one of 10 finalists competing for five playground equipment grants, the City of Moreno Valley is asking for residents' support to win new equipment for the community. If selected, the city will use the $20,000 grant monies to replace old playground equipment at Hidden Springs Park, officials said. The park serves dually as a neighborhood park and as the playground for students at Hidden Springs Elementary School. Residents who would like to vote may do so from their home computer or cellphone by logging onto http://kaboom.org/videocontest. Hit the "Vote Now" button and select the MoVal video as the voting choice. Voters will be redirected to Facebook and voters may vote once a day. Voting began June 15 and will end June 26. Let's Play is an initiative launched in 2011 by Dr. Pepper Snapple Group to provide the tools, places and inspiration to make play a daily priority. In partnership with the nonprofit organizations KaBOOM! and Good Sports, Let's Play is working to eliminate the 'play deficit' by building and improving play spaces and providing grants for athletic equipment and gear. For further information, contact Lisa Smethurst at 951-413-3701 or by email at lisas@moval.org; or Mel Alonzo at 951-413-3705 or by email at mela@moval.org.
