Veteran's Park

Veteran's Park
Lincoln St., Verona
August 7, 2012



We typically refer to Veteran's Park as "Nadia's Birthday Park," because it is where she had her third birthday party. There is a park shelter here--great for picnics. This is also a really good playground for kids who like to run and climb. (All kids?)

Nadia was really proud to have climbed to the top of this mountain by herself! Coming down was a little more challenging.



There are a number of slides for going down,





And even one that is designed for climbing up!



 The tunnel is great for hiding




This thing, which I have not seen at other playgrounds, spins. Careful--it goes REALLY fast. (Nadia did not like it a couple of years ago. Now, she approaches with caution, but laughs the whole time!)



Overall, this is among the most unique playgrounds we've visited this summer. It has more different ways of climbing up a structure (safely) than any of the playgrounds we've played at so far. It also has swings, but unlike many playgrounds, Nadia was having so much fun that she didn't even seem to notice them.

(Note: down the hill from this playground, easily within walking distance, is a different playground. We haven't had a chance to blog about it--yet--but it's nice that there are two so close to each other when you need some variety.)
