Logan Park

  

We've driven past this park several times, but we've never actually come, although when passing it, my children have asked to go here, but it was always when we were on our way somewhere else (often hoover park). It's a fun park though. Not one I would want to go to on a hot day though. There is no shade, and no where really to sit down. It's a lot like Andrew's and Astle Parks in that way. 

Looking at this from a distance, it looked like something fun to climb on, but I didn't realize that the whole thing spins. Deano calls it the Spinny Tower... which is a pretty good name for it. This is where the kids spent most of their time. I got on it for a bit, but I got dizzy pretty fast. How come I used to be able to spin for ages without feeling dizzy at all, and now even just looking at it makes me a little dizzy?  I must be getting old.

According to Andrew, this is the up-and-down-inator (watching a little too much Phineas and Ferb maybe?) It was a fun teeter totter like thing. The kids liked it a lot, and I had fun on it too.

This thing rocked back and forth in a fun way, both kids played on it for a bit, but went back to the spinny tower pretty quickly.  

They were calling this a trampoline, and it kinda looks like a trampoline, and they were jumping on it like it was a trampoline, but it didn't look particularly bouncy. Either way, they enjoyed it, and anything to get them to wear themselves out faster, I'm all for. 

There are a couple of these dish swings, they squeak really loudly if there's more than about 50 pounds on it though (Isaac plus Andrew, alone they were fine). I feel kinda bad for the people that live right on the other side of that fence, that swing must drive them crazy.Individually though the kids were able to swing on them without too much noise, and they had fun.

We've seen this around at other parks before, and my kids are never really interested in it for more than a minute or two, but maybe one of these days they'll give it more of a chance. 

It's a fun park to go to on a cool evening or maybe in the weather gets cooler. I wish there were a bench to sit on or something. I sat on the fence for a bit, but it's kinda rickety in places. I was a little surprised at how many cars were driving past on this seemingly quiet neighborhood road, but I guess I shouldn't have been, because I use this street as a shortcut too.
