Summer Park Tour: Park Six

I haven't blogged about our summer park tour for awhile.  Partly because we have been busy and partly because we have repeated some of our previous park trips going to Blane St. park twice, Wavetech and Valley Falls once.  So here we are back at it.  Our latest park is the Mini Park on Morgantown Ave. in Fairmont.  I am sure the park is named something else, but at our school we just call it the mini park.   Enjoy!

Here is an overview pic of the park

This is more like it.  Having fun together on the tire swing.

Would you expect anything else besides a posing girl

Again having fun...this time on the see-saw

Overall I didn't think I would rate this park very high.  I was thinking before hand it would be in the one swing or two swing area.  But after going to the park with the kids I felt a little better about it.  First, it is very shady and cool.  That makes it comfortable for the kids to play.  There is also a working water fountain.  There is also lots of room to run and play.  I like that there is some different types of the same playground equipment.  There are some drawbacks.  Some of the equipment is outdated or broken.  There are no bathroom facilities, however our friend Dave lives right next to the park and we can use his bathroom.  One of the biggest negatives about this park is that many people don't go there so that doesn't give the girls anyone else to play with.  Our girls are social and they like to meet new people, so going makes that tough.  Overall I would give this park a rating of three swings.
