Since we are back to average temperatures here in Connecticut, Anna and I decided to check out one of the local parks, Addison Park. Let’s start with the fact that this park has it all – baseball diamonds, basketball courts, tennis courts, a pool, soccer fields, and a very large playground complex. The playground was the big draw for Anna and I. Actually, there are three playground structures (two wheelchair accessible) and a sandbox area also. Addison Park is a Boundless Playground park – meaning it is accessible to children who not as mobile as Anna.
Addison Park is actually the closest park to our house, so we will probably visit often (as long as the temperatures cooperate). Anna had a great time checking out all the play structures and swinging in one of the seat swings. There is so much to do between all the play structures, that she shouldn’t get bored.
I do have one complaint – which would be other parents failure to monitor their children. Since the play structures have ramp systems, there were several kids who thought this was an invitation to ride bikes and scooters up onto the structures. Obviously, neither they nor their parents read the posted signs that prohibit skateboards, bikes, scooters and roller skates on the play ground.
