Last year there was a big hoopla when Mesa was voted among the most boring cities in the US. This should help us regain some dignity.
Recently Mesa, AZ was named one of 93 cities across the nation to receive the title “Playful City USA” by KaBOOM! As such, Mayor Scott Smith announced Wednesday, September 25th a “Day of Play” and there are several free family activities at various locations throughout the city. Find details about locations for the “Day of Play” here.
