The gutted playground area at the Nevada Association of Latin Americans' (NALA) preschool looks a little bare at the moment. There are a few tricycles donated by the Rotary Club, long child-sized picnic benches, a little shade and some swingless swing sets. But it shouldn't stay that way for long, as the nonprofit day care center is getting help from the Las Vegas Rotary Club to bring its playground into compliance with the Southern Nevada Health District's new regulations for playground safety.

When the staff at NALA's preschool found out about the new rules, they had representatives from the health district come to the school and inspect everything. Practically all of the old metal playground equipment needed to be taken out, and the playground was shut down. Fortunately, NALA had friends that were willing to help. Through the Rotary Club, a landscaping company volunteered to remove the equipment, so children could play outside again.
