What do the kids want? Monkey bars & rings“high ones…girls work hard to learn how to do that”

Swings“they’re so fun with the wind pressing on your cheeks, leaping high into the air…tire swings are safe!”

Hiding places & shelter from rain“someplace nice to sit in when it rains…you know it rains here, right?”

Slides“not just any slide…tall, metal slides…they’re not dangerous because we’re not idiots…I mean an 11’ slide!...a big curvy slide with lots of loops”

Ziplines“how come Salmon Bay park does, but we don’t?...a playground without a zipline is like a baby without a blanket…face the fact”

A chess board“no playground is complete without one”

Balance beamsTunnels“I would faint without one”

Tall structures“but the newer playground structures get old fast”

Spicas/supernovas

Cargo rope net

Environmentally-friendly“making a new plastic playground takes more fuel and resources to produce”

A place for a bonfire“there would be steaming mugs of hot cocoa…people wouldn’t get amped up on sugar because we’re so smart”

Climbing wallsCarousels“we will get tired and go back to class with no energy to be disruptive”

Beauty“color…plants…grass is fun because when it rains, we can squish around in it”
