i was really looking forward to going to this playground. mostly based on this review. and my friend was excited about it based on this, and this is how she reviewed our trip.
our time at this playground started the same as it does at every playground. simon goes straight to the sand pit. i don't mind though. at least i know where he is and i don't have to run all around the place. i just feel like he's missing out on everything else the playground has to offer. he played with the water that found its way into the sand, but didn't actually get in the water. then, like at most playgrounds, he doesn't discover anything else until we're about ready to go.
that is when he found these blue building blocks that were out in plain sight the entire time. of course he had a fit when we tried to leave, because he just discovered something really cool.
so this park has two pretty great water features, one that is adjacent to a huge sand pit. it also has a huge space to play with these blocks, and a couple other interesting things. but what it doesn't have is shade. you think you are going to this great place when it is hot because of the water and everything else. but if it is sunny change your plans and go another day. maybe the kids don't care about the heat or sun, but i certainly do. and i worry for simon. look how red his face is. i would go back though, just not at the end of june. and maybe not until september.
