Additional playground equipment and some renovations are in the plans for City of Mesa parks as a result of a donation from NBC Universal, which is shooting a movie in the City.

The motion picture firm, which has been filming "The Kingdom" throughout the Valley this summer, has donated $40,000 to Parks and Recreation for the inconvenience of closing down two miles of the Red Mountain (Loop 202) freeway in northeast Mesa. The Arizona Department of Transportation allowed the closure, which falls within the Mesa city limits.

Part of the donation will be used on the installation of new playground equipment at a parks basin at 64th Street and Brown Road. Additional funds will be used on the expansion and renovation of multi-purpose fields at Red Mountain Park, adjacent to Red Mountain High School, off Brown Road, east of Power Road.

The freeway between Higley and Power Roads is scheduled for two additional weekend closures -- from 10:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 4, to 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 7, and then from 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 10, to 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 14.
