< Return to Home Play-Dothan
Dothan offers lots of playful opportunities of all sizes and colors... just like a can of Play-Doh. It is important to Dothan's playful City Commission to offer our young citizens plenty of opportunities to "Play Dothan." That play experience is set to Beethoven's Fifth (on kazoos of course).

Good Video but do not think the music fits in for Dothan or the Playground.
Dothan is a wonderful place to live & a good place for children to grow up.

What's with the music? Horrible! Even though I love Dothan that music is awful.

gerald commented 12/10/2007

how many times is libby gonna comment?....just asking......

gerald commented 12/10/2007

cissy...its a kazooo.....its Playful....

Libby commented 12/10/2007

The KAZOOS are actually symbolic to the whole Kaboom Project. When Dothan was solicited to be a playful city, the commissioners and playground commission were given KAZOOS from the KABOOM folks. They have to blow them at various public places. So, the Kaboom people know what the kazoos are about. Its playful! And I care about this project and Dothan and can comment every day if I like!

williebob commented 12/11/2007

"For, I heard them say; Let us go to Dothan": There is a reason for that statement;
Dothan is a great place to worship, live, work and play, and when people visit and find this to be true, they move here.Dothan has every right to be proud of it's place in the world.

Dothan is a great place to raise a kid, and Dothan Leisure Services does their best to keep it that way! My son's favorite DLS program is the Dothan Dolphins Swim Team. He and four other teammates qualified for the Southeastern Swimming Championships last year in Nashville, Tennessee. Can you tell I'm a proud Dad?

Dothan has always been known for its Leisure Services Department and the part that the staff, Commissioners and Mayor have played in making this a playful city. The city has always strived to have leadership at the head of this organization that was knowledgeable in administrative affairs. Good luck in the KaBoom competition and the advancement of the parks and recreation effort of the City.

Dothan is the premier town in the country to raise children and live a healthy and leisure filled life. Every amenity is carefully thought of to make our lives full of fun and community. Not only is the City of Dothan concerned about its families and children, but it is continually striving to include activities for the rapidly growing senior adult population. Dothan truly deserves the title of Playful City USA. Come check us out you will want to join us!
