LEWISBURG, Pa. (July 30, 2008) --- Playworld Systems, Inc. announced today the recipient of the latest NEOS™ grant program. The recipient, Weld County Health Department, will install the new NEOS™ at the Greeley Family Fun Plex in Greeley, Colorado, bringing electronic gaming to the area.

NEOS’ intriguing design includes four columns with interactive sound and buttons.

“We are excited to grant Weld County and the Greeley community the opportunity to bring kids and families together where they can actively have fun and get their hearts pumping,” said Matt Miller, president of Playworld Systems. “The Weld County Health Department was chosen to receive NEOS because of its renewed focus on healthy children and physical education. The game will be installed into the Greeley Family Fun Plex, which currently has limited play equipment.”

Denise Retzlaff, project coordinator for Steps to a Healthier Colorado at the Weld County Health Department, wrote the grant entry and emphasized the desire to use NEOS as a way to battle the growing childhood obesity concern in Greeley. While Colorado is ranked near the top among health-conscious states battling obesity, Greeley and Weld County are disproportionately heavier compared to the rest of the state.
