Five and Under Park

IT is interesting that one's perspective changes when becoming a parent. Before children Dad did not take notice of the playground equipment installed in various parks. He has been to this particular park before, even as recently as this time last year, but gave little thought to the suitability of the equipment to a given child's age. Today, at the urging of Mom, they set off for 5 and under park. He marveled at the thoughtful design, at how appropriate it is for the almost 2 years old crowd.

Above, the climbing structure is perfect for mobile little ones. Unlike big kid equipment, the Twins can actually climb this on their own.

The slides too are well suited for this age group. The incline is not as steep and the landing zone is long enough to prevent them from falling off.

Mom is ready to catch Buggy, but it is unnecessary.

The steps are also easy for toddlers to ascend and descend.

The slide above is higher than the purple one, but it is covered so there is no fear that they will fall off of the side.

Having mastered going down feet first, the Twins then did it head first. Dad was able to take photos instead of receiving them at the end.

Buggy found a pine cone and a switch. She gave the pine cone to EJ but kept the switch for herself.
