A giant, player-powered video game that encourages movement is coming to Sioux City's Chris Larsen Park. MOVMNT, a new interactive game by playground equipment provider Burke, will be installed in the spring on the active rec lawn near Floyd Pavilion, according to Recreation Superintendent John Byrnes.
The Rotary Club of Sioux City contributed $17,000 toward MOVMNT, which resembles exercise equipment. The city will cover the $5,000 installation cost.
"We're really excited. These things are really, really trendy. We're kind of seeing themaround the nation in parks and rec," Byrnes said. "It's kind of cool that we get onehere. The riverfront is the absolutely perfect home for it."
In order to use MOVMNT, players must charge up this single or multiplayer game by cranking a wheel.
