This evening Ezra and I walked to the Cambridge Commons and discovered a gem of a play area. I want to find out who designed it so that I can see if she/he has any other play spaces we can visit!
Sadly the battery to my camera died just after we got there, so I was only able to take a few pictures. None of which include Ezra. :(
I did go on their website though and downloaded some more photos so I can give you a better idea of what it was like... And hopefully I'll get photos of Ezra in action there later this week.
Here is a clip from the website behind the design of the play area...
The playground design is a landscape of hills, valleys, sand, wooden branches and stumps, living plant material, and loose wooden blocks to build with. It is a place where kids can invent their own forms of play. Many features are made from naturally decay-resistant wood. Slides are embedded into hills. Turning a crank sends water cascading down a series of tables into the sand area. There is a swing set for toddlers, a multidirectional dish-shaped swing that can be used by several children at once, a see-saw with multiple seats at each end for groups of children (or adults), and a “merry-go-round” that is at ground level to provide wheelchair access.
So glad to have discovered this early on in our stay here!
