Your Sneak Peak: New Playground at Soccer Fields on Langley Road

At the soccer fields on Langley Road there is this great new kid's playground. It was taped off with caution tape on the soccer field side, and we only had to move a fence to get in. It might have still been officially closed. . . it looked like a brand new toy, that had never been played with, hee hee. The only thing that looked unfinished were a couple of short drainage holes. We will be coming back to it again that's for sure. It reminded me of a cool playground we visited in Boulder Colorado (only this one is smaller) because it has some climbing rocks. I don't know of ANY other parks on South Whidbey that have climbing rocks. So it is also unique, and well located. You can walk into the woods on well maintained trails (bike anyone?). A short 1/2 mile hike takes you to the Community Park (Castle Park) on Maxwelton Rd. Or you could explore some of the many more trails in the woods.

This was sort of strange: just two small swings

There are two climbing rocks that are connected by a climbing rope. Lots of fun for the kids.

Brand new "double" slide. Not to slippery, but great for kids to climb up and down the way they like to! Marina and her friends were both able to run down the slide (yeah, I was scared!). The slide is so perfect and new that you can see your reflection.
good climbing
