Monday in the Park

The Delridge community center playground is a very friendly children's space.  Designed with community and kid input and erected by local volunteers.  Whimsical signs and children's artwork surround the play area. It has the kind of colorful, chunky and safe playground equipment that little kids love and allows a  nana to relax and not have to worry about imminent disaster.  The 50's era playground where I played was marvelous but in those days softness of landing wasn't part of the plan.
I remember episodes of falls from slides, slips from 'monkey bars and  accidental  flying leaps from swings that ended on the concrete of good old Miller Park.   I'm looking forward to many happy hours with Bianca in this space and also secretly feeling lucky that I have an excuse to crawl on things and go down slides again!!
