From its parks to its hiking trails and basketball courts, Casa Grande offers plenty of opportunities for residents to get outside, be active and play, according to KaBOOM!, which recently bestowed the “Playful City USA” designation on the community.
This is the sixth consecutive year Casa Grande has earned the national recognition.
The city must meet strict criteria and undergo an extensive application process to be considered for the designation each year, said Caryl Chase, Casa Grande recreation superintendent.
