Fun on wheels

Mobile Recreation Unit brings toys, games and crafts to Moses Lake parks

MOSES LAKE — When you’re a kid, the summer is full of enjoyable things to do. And if you can’t get to them, the city of Moses Lake brings the fun to you. “Not every kid can get to the Recreation Center,” said Recreation Superintendent Carrie Hoiness. “Not every kid can get to the pool or to the roller rink. So what we want to do is provide those opportunities for the kids who can’t get there.” The Mobile Recreation Unit began its summer schedule last week, traveling around Moses Lake to four city parks in four neighborhoods Monday through Thursday. The activities are geared toward children 5-12 years old, but nobody gets turned away, Hoiness said.
