 that sounds so awesome!  i'm sure your kids love it!

Quoting stellarmom1:

Yep, we live near Clemyjontri Park, (3rd picture). It's huge and fantastic! We go there like once a month, it's really fun but crazy big! It's hard to watch two kids at the same time!  There is a carousel in the middle, and around the whole park is like a street where kids can ride bikes or whatnot around it. Also it's made so kids with disabilities are able to play and enjoy the park!

I have been to some pretty awesome parks with my kids... the latest thing are these "splash pads" which are usually free and the kids just get to go crazy and get sprayed by water. I don't think they existed when I was a kid.

 no they didn't.  wish they did though!  my father wouldn't let us run through the sprinkler, have a slip & slide, etc. because we'd tear up his yard & track mud through the house.

that sucks! my parents didn't care about that stuff since it kept outside all day and not complaining about the heat. The slip and slide was the best thing ever invented as a kid!
