No, it’s not a scene from a Batman movie.
The city of Longview competed in 2007 for a $25,000 playground grant from the KaBOOM! National Campaign for Play.
And Longview won.
It beat out several larger cities such as Atlanta, Phoenix and San Francisco thanks to a three-minute video created by the Longview Parks and Recreation Department.
The video features a superhero named Kaptain KaBOOM and her canine sidekick, Boomer, and showed the city’s need and enthusiasm for a new play space for kids.
