A Dream Come True playground...

Curtis has been driving the kiddos by this playground for months...they slowly watched it go up, & were thrilled when it finally opened this week!

i love the story behind this playground...& that it's for kiddos of ALL abilities!!!

& boy does this place have everything!

from cool art & chalk walls...

even the sidewalks are pretty...there's embedded colored glass everywhere...

to your normal playground equipment...

to super fun twisty slides...

to shaded canopies over most of the play areas...

& that super bouncy foam stuff all over for flooring - just in case ;0)

there's a water feature that the kiddos can touch...here's a girl getting her hair wet on what was a really hot day...& Rocket helping himself to a drink ;0)

there's a shaded & open (not shaded) picnic area...

there are tons of interactive features...a wall with fossils & embedded bugs, that has buttons all over it & they make animal noises when u push em...here, the stepping stones make different noises when u hop on them...the girls said even the water fountain had sound effects!

to some really cool toys! i saw these things that looked like pogo-sticks, only they were fixed to the ground...this was sort of like a merry-go-round, only standing up...

personal sand tables...

swings of all sizes...

a little track for trikes...

even a hammock to rest in...

& relax is exactly what Rocket did on this super hot day...

this playground is located in Harrisonburg...on the street that connects Port Road & Reservior...it may be a little bit of a treck to take our kiddos there...but i highly recommend that all u locals check it out - especially those with special needs kiddos...talk about some majorly fun sensory input!

we can't wait to go back!!!
