I Dream Awake

I used to play here with my father when I was tiny. Glad to see it still standing.

Most of the rest of the playgrounds around the city have been torn up and redesigned a few times over since then. Some of the new ones are great and work for kids of all ages. But these old splinter-givers have mostly been replaced by boring, too-safe-for-fun, plastic. I hope this old thing keeps giving kids a place to have just the right balance between fun and learning how to take care of themselves for a long time to come.
