I love a lot of the natural landscaping and greenspace. I am crushed that we are losing multiple slides and that there won't be any swings. I have two toddlers and live one block away from the park. We go almost every day in the summer. My girls love to swing and slide. Although some of the newer style playground equipment looks cool and fun, they struggle to actively play on it for extended periods of time. They want to climb, slide, and swing. Items like the "sol spinner" only allow for one person to use it at a time compared to the large bank of swings that are currently there. I am feeling so sad about this. Why does this park not have a traditional play structure? I feel that the sensory wall will not be used by many children and does not allow for the gross-motor whole body play that kids need/want.

Agree with you completely Kathryn! The Peter Blumette proposal was the only one I was really disappointed in. The playground structure lacks SO much.
