Medicine Bow Park

I like this park, I'm not sure why we don't come here more often. And, as we discovered when Daddy drove off with car seats in the back of his car, it's within walking distance.

These have been termed "wiggly stepping stones" by my boys. It's a fair description. They don't try walking on them without holding on to my hands, but they like to sit on them and wobble around. 

This thing spins. If spinning didn't make me so dizzy these days, I totally would have tried it, it looks like it could be fun. Space training comes to mind for some reason.

These are fun to climb, and then they spin. These have been a favorite of Deano's for a while now, but I don't think Andrew has even tried them.

Then there is the teeter-totter. How many true teeter-totters are there anymore? The boys love it. 

There are lots of random things to climb.

I'm fairly certain that those are supposed to be hand holds, not somewhere to sit... especially since every time he gets in there, he gets stuck. It's a little hard to tell from this picture, but there is a clear rock climbing wall just to the right of where Deano is. My boys haven't gotten very far up that wall and haven't really been all that interested. There was a bird that flew into it while we were here though. Probably not the best idea to make it clear I suppose, but it does make park visibility pretty good so I can still watch my kids playing when they're on the other side of the wall.

This thing rocks back and forth, and is pretty fun.

Andrew calls this the "giant top." They stand on it, and it spins. If they get the weight distributed right, it just keeps spinning.

On the other side of the park there is a big "spider-web." I don't particularly like that it is so far away from the other playground, so I feel like I either have to keep moving, or else can't keep as good of an eye on my kids. The boys do love it though, and as they get older, they get better and better at it. Deano was having fun being spider man.  

 

There is a pavilion with a picnic table by the spider web that could provide some shade, as well as several large trees, although I don't think the trees were very strategically placed for sitting to watch children play, I guess they're fine though.

In the past we have come and let the boys ride their bikes on the sidewalk around the edge of this park. I like that this park has so many unique things to do. Green River has some very unique parks, but many of those ones don't have much grass; this one has lots.
