In the summer of 2016, I started a little blog series reviewing local parks. One park that we did not have a chance to visit was Irvine Adventure Playground. Yesterday we invited one of k’s friends and one of n’s friends to join us in checking it out.
This is a public park run by the city of Irvine. Admission is free, but there are employees manning the front desk and you list the names and a phone number for you and your guests.
The posted code of conduct.
The playground structure was unique enough to be fun for these 8-11 year olds.
The boys started to build a house, but they did not get very far.
Overheard: “I feel like a construction worker!”
The concrete slide was a hit with everyone!
Pretending to do the luge.
Bringing a piece of cardboard came in handy once again!
There are also water pumps* and a muddy ditch, but thankfully our group was not too interested in that part! It would be a good idea to bring towels and to wear old clothes if you think your kids would be the type to dive right in! *Water pumps are closed for maintenance every Monday.
