Playground

Dickinson is planning on adding a new playground in one of their districts. They want to take out an old playground and add and new one that has features such as climbing rocks, a log balance beam, wood towers, bridges and an awesome stand-in-place xylophone, with swings, slides and twirling thing that usually makes people sick. Amy Mangold is the leader in the new playground. She has been trying to design it since she used to play there all the time. She thinks it's a good way to give back to the community. Since she is designing the whole playground she thinks it's a good thing to incorporate nature into the playground. Many kids these days don't understand what nature really is, with all the new technology they don't get outside as much. 
I like that all these people in the community are totally game for the whole nature playground idea. Kids these days don't understand what being outside and making up their own games mean. They just don't know what to do without their new fancy ipods and iphones. When i was young people had to make up their own games and find different ways to have fun. We had so much fun in the parks because it was a new thing and everyone wanted to play on it. I remember when we had the shakey bridge and you were the coolest person if you could cross it. Hopefully kids will appreciate this new playground like we did when we were young.
