Two weeks ago my friend Emily recommended White Deer Park in Garner. Today Daniel and I drove down to check it out. From the looks of her pictures, Daniel and I landed in an entirely different playground in the park (there are two) because there was no sand it didn't have natural shade or gyms made of wood. However, playground equipment was all new and very innovative. The new version of a see-saw was a pair of disks balanced and suspended by a network of bungees. There were all sorts of spinning chairs, towers with slides, and bars and nets to climb on. Remember the old school merry-go-round that everyone would push until they were running fast and then jump onto? There was a rubber version of that without the metal poles, and it was tilted so that kids flew up and round and not just around. Several of the play centers even had permanent shade tents to help out kids' sensitive eyes. We only stayed an hour because it was a last minute trip and we both were ready for lunch, but we will be sure to return with some friends and snacks next time.
hee hee...FUN...and we will join you next time! Oh how I wish you had seen the other park (I like it so much better). It is to the left as you pull in as opposed to the right :)
ReplyDeleteWe will definitely go back and try the other. The Target I usually go to is on Timber Rd, so maybe I can work it in to one of those trips.
ReplyDeleteBen and I are headed to Kids Together in a bit (seriously, you need to check it out, it is awesome), do you want to join us? Call me if you do!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invite! Daniel is (hopefully) napping, so we'll have to catch you guys next time.
ReplyDeleteThis is right by the Target on Timber! Let me know the next time you go there....we will meet you at the park :)
