Always a refreshing park on a hot hot day.

I know there is already a water feature behind Blackwell House at the Water Jets but its shame the old Castle playground location lost its water feature. I recall the reasons were that the water was too close to the new equipment and the water was making the wood chip base too wet but these days any added water play area would be a good thing.

Today we went to Al Lewis but it was too crowded full of kids from the Youth Program camp. I will be honest I know little of how that camp works. The Manhattan Park playground was in use the Day Nursery folks during their reserved time.  And the Octagon playground was too far away. Amusing. Wish the Soccer field bathrooms were closer to the Octagon for young kids but they are reasonably close enough.
