We went to Sierra Park today after receiving a hot tip and we will definitely go back again. It's a lovely park- surprisingly big with a tennis court, lots of grassy areas, picnic tables and a great little playground.
The playground is in two parts for big kids and smaller kids, both on sand. The smaller side has two swings; a toddler and a therapeutic. There is a climbing structure with a ramp, a double metal slide, a few bouncy animals and a digger machine. The big kids side has two swings, a plastic curly slide, a good range of climbing options including a sort of balance beam built into the middle of the climbing frame and a separate set of climbing bars. It also has a fabulous seesaw. We haven't seen a seesaw like this yet and it's the first one that I have come across that doesn't threaten to catapult 'A' into space the second I put any weight on it. PLUS, it actually sits four!
There are no frills in this park. When we were there it was the hottest time of the day and although there are trees around there is very little shade and the bits that there are would fill up pretty fast on a weekend. 'A' found a new thing to bother him today- hot sand. At least it wasn't beetles, ants, dogs, wind or loud noises. Sigh.
You should post the address of these parks, or an approximate location. I want to go to some of these, but how do I get there?
ReplyDeleteI apologize in advance if I'm just missing the location... :-)
