May 31, 2009There's lots for youngsters to climb on and explore in Tapiola Park on the south side of the Astoria hill, but today may not be the day, as it's been either pouring or drizzling for two days. We've had a few exceptionally nice days this season - the rest is rain and overcast skies.
In my last post, I showed the Tot Lot of the playground. In this post, even earlier, I showed someone using the skate park a few yards away, which was made from an old swimming pool.
Looks like fun but I prefer Sibelius' tone poem!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so fun! We have a similar park here in Jackson. I made my husband take me once. It was neat. I have a picture somewhere on my blog. But no time to search now.
ReplyDeleteWhat strikes me about this is the lack of color. Our kids playgrounds are filled with bright and vivid colors.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I played golf with a fellow who likes to ride bikes across country (that's bicycles, not motorcycles!)...his name is Mike Miller.
He's got a fascinating website. Google Tourdemiller and take a look at the 2007 journey from Oregon to New Hampshire. There are several photos from Astoria there which, when I saw them, made me jump up and yell, "Hey, I saw those places on Sheryl's blog!"
I bet it is called 'Tapioca Park' LOL
ReplyDeleteOne of the elementary schools in Maryville--down the road---has this idea as it's playground. MB
I like this place, I'd like to give a hand building those structures.
ReplyDeleteThanks ciel, I was just thinking what Tapiola reminded me of.
Looks like heaven-in-a-park for kids!
