Las Verdes Park

Las Verdes Park, Encinitas

I've edited this passage a few times. Not too much to say about this park. This would be an "oh, were passing that park let's go play for 30 minutes" kind of moment. A small neighborhood park with a play structure that looks more like an art sculpture. Parts made the kids think...how do I play on this? A crazy slide in my mind. No sides, curves and dangerous to an impulsive kid. Mine figured a safe(haha) way of laying on their backs while straddling. Bring a ball and run those kids back and forth on the great grass patch.
