Mt. View Lions' Park

Our first Park Day of 2011 will be this Tuesday, June 7 from 10 a.m. - noon at Mt. View Lions' Park. If it's raining, we'll have to cancel Park Day this week and hope for better weather next week.

Directions:

• Boniface headed north
• Left on Mt. View Dr.
• Right on N Pine. Parking lot is at the back of the park.

Features:

• Small children's section
• Swings for all ages
  
• Slides for all ages
  
• Climbing equipment
• Covered picnic areas
• Picnic tables
• Park benches
  
• Tennis court
  
• Restrooms

Negatives:

• Spread out, might be difficult to watch more than one child at a time.
• Sand in some places.
• Some of the equipment is the old-fashioned, less than safe kind -- very fun, but there is the possibility of injury.
  

Park Days, 2011

School's out, so it's almost time for Park Day! We'll be going to a different park each Tuesday from 10 a.m. until noon. Let's hope we don't get rained out this year! My kids and I scouted out a couple new parks to go to this year, and we're also going to some old favorites. The first Park Day will be June 7, and the last one will be August 2.

twice in a row!

We got rained out AGAIN! It was sunny before park day, and it's sunny now that park time is past. But it was raining when we were supposed to play at the park :-( So we'll try Scenic Park Elementary Playground again next week. I'm pretty sure that next Tuesday will be our last scheduled park day of this summer.

rained out :-(

We were not able to have Park Day today because of the rain, so we'll go to Scenic Park Elementary Playground next Tuesday (8-3-2010). All the information is HERE.
