A bill 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”.
Latest action (23 Sep 2026): Passed Senate without amendment by Unanimous Consent.
What this bill does
S. 2933 would rename a specific site within the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia. The playground located in the Grandview area, south of the amphitheater, would officially become known as the “Hearts of Gold Playground: In Honor of West Virginia Children and Families Impacted by Childhood Cancer.” The bill also directs that any existing law, map, regulation, or federal document referring to this playground be updated to reflect the new name.
The change primarily affects the National Park Service, which manages the site, and visitors or officials who reference the playground in official materials. The redesignation is symbolic, intended to honor West Virginia children and families affected by childhood cancer; it does not alter the playground’s physical structure, funding, management, or use.
The bill was introduced by Senator Jim Justice (R-WV), along with Senator Shelley Moore Capito, and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. That committee has since ordered the bill to be reported favorably without amendment, meaning it is now positioned for potential consideration by the full Senate. Further votes in the Senate and House would be required before it could become law.
