NBC’s “
Parks & Recreation" is
a comedy starring Amy Poehler (from “Saturday Night Live”) as Leslie
Knope, a parks and recreation official who wants to build a new
playground.
Of course, we’ve always known that if Leslie would just check out
KaBOOM!, we could help her get that playground built. Turns out that
producers at "Parks and Recreation" had the same idea, and decided to
feature KaBOOM! on the show. You can watch the episode below. Be sure
to scroll down to read more information about it.
On this episode, which aired Oct. 22, Leslie and her team visited the
nearby city of Eagleton and the KaBOOM! build taking place there. At
first, Leslie is skeptical that a playground can actually be built in
one day, but as she witnesses the transformation, she catches the
KaBOOM! spirit and becomes even more determined to get her playground
built. “Parks & Recreation” featured KaBOOM! in the episode as part
of NBC’s participation in the Entertainment Industry Foundations (EIF)
drive to feature volunteering across all networks called “I Participate.”
Thanks to NBC and the producers of “Parks & Recreation” for
inviting us to be a part of the fun. We hope you enjoy the episode,
and we hope that you take a moment to check out the many ways you can
