Is there a Centennial park in every city? Anyways, this is the only park in Rock Springs that I have ever been to, and I love it! It's an awesome park. It looks like the type of park that I would have absolutely loved when I was 8-12 years old. It just fuels the imagination so much. I mean, seriously, just look at it! And what made this trip to the park even better was that Daddy and Grandma came with us!
The boys were calling this a castle, and it pretty much is. You have to climb up three levels to get to the slides, but the slides are super long, so it makes the climb totally worth it. Plus little boys just like to climb, so they never need a reason.
The first time we came to this park, I think the boys were a little scared of the super long slides, but they are so much fun! and they definitely weren't scared this time.
IDidn't get many picures of Deano this trip, he was just climbing up and down and was all over the place, and wouldn't stay in one place for long enough to catch a picture. Here he is climbing up,
and here he is back down.
I think even Grandma had fun.
Isaac got to do a little rock climbing,
And all of the kids love these things,
even Isaac.
This was fun. Andrew is a little bit obsessed with letters right now, so he enjoyed telling me what each of the letters were. On the other side is a tic-tac-toe game.
More things to climb on.. and this is one of many different paths to climb up to the slides
Andrew finally came away from the castle to check out the other toys. I tried to get Deano down, but he wouldn't have it, so most of my pictures are of Andrew. Here he is turning the pirate wheel,
and talking through the tunnel phone,
and playing the drums. He also swung on some monkey bars, but I didn't get a picture of that. I like that there are some monkey bars here that are lower, so he doesn't have to have me hovering under him constantly. If he falls, it's not too bad of a drop.
Deano did come down from the castle to climb some trees. These trees hang low to the ground, this one had a bigger opening under it than most. At one point when Daddy came over, Deano said "welcome to my home!" It would have made the perfect play house.
One of the best things about Daddy coming to the park with us is that he gets the kids really running to burn off some energy. He was chasing Andrew all over the park for a while, up and down slides, across the grass, all over,
and then he tried to get the boys to run with him on the path back to the car. This park has a path that meanders all over the park. I initially thought that it might be fun to bring bikes or something, but for these little guys it wouldn't work very well because it's pretty overgrown and broken up in places, but it makes a great footpath.
This park has several different pavilions with picnic tables, one of which quite large. It would be good for a group thing. There are also bathrooms, several horseshoe pits, and a volleyball court. I just wish it were closer to home, I think it would be a favorite!
