To redesignate a playground in the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in the State of West Virginia as the "Hearts of Gold Playground: In Honor of West Virginia Children and Families Impacted by Childhood Cancer".
This bill, HB8900, aims to rename a playground within the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia. The playground would be renamed the "Hearts of Gold Playground: In Honor of West Virginia Children and Families Impacted by Childhood Cancer." This change is intended as a tribute to children and their families who have been affected by childhood cancer in the state.
The proposed change would affect visitors to the playground, local families, and those who support or have been impacted by childhood cancer. It would serve as a symbol of hope and recognition for their struggles and resilience. The playground would become a community landmark that honors and supports these families.
As of May 19, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. It has not yet advanced further in the legislative process. Key actions include its introduction and referral to the committee, with no further steps taken so far.
