What does this do?
The bill would give a new official name to the main playground in the Grandview area of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia. The new name would be "Hearts of Gold Playground: In Honor of West Virginia Children and Families Impacted by Childhood Cancer." Any federal law, map, regulation, or other government record that mentions the playground would be treated as referring to the new name.
Who does it affect?
Visitors to the park and the National Park Service, which manages it, would be affected, since signs and maps would eventually show the new name. The name is meant to recognize West Virginia children with cancer and their families.
Why does it matter?
Older documents would not need to be rewritten, because the new name would automatically apply to earlier references. The bill would not change park rules or how the playground is built or run.
