[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new playground is also very "advanced" in my opinion. Good for older kids, not so much littler kids. Also, those cup seat things that spin around are insane (but also fun!)[/quote]

It’s not park playground, which should include toddler equipment.  The students at the school are 4 to 11.[/quote]

True- based on what I've seen much of it is probably too hard for a 4 year old- but totally appropriate for kids older than that. That being said, it's also not at all friendly/welcoming for kids who might have disabilities- other playgrounds have equipment that facilitates use for kids with all sorts of needs. For example, to get to any of the slides you have to climb up ropes (for the small slide) or a sheer wall that's at least 10-12 feet off the ground for the big slide. Parts of it almost looks like it was put together wrong![/quote]

Typed too fast- the examples are meant to say that the new Ross playground was not thoughtfully designed to be inclusive for kids of differing abilities. [/quote]
