[Summit] Red Park

[Brett Summers]

We currently go to the playground with our kids.  When we first moved here
(8 years ago), there weren't many toys in the playground at all.  In
contrast, Humboldt playground had a bunch of toys, and I considered this a
sign of a healthy neighborhood: that toys could be left at the park and
would stay there for the next morning's assault on the park.  When our own
neighborhood park filled up with toys, I was happy to see them collect and
more happy to see that they stayed.  There are some broken ones, it's true,
and I have periodically dumped broken ones in the trash when I've been
there with my kids.  But there are also a lot of play houses (admittedly
plastic and not terribly beautiful), that the kids construct and
reconstruct into towns, fortresses, and rambling playground structures.  If
we all keep on top of disposing of the broken, dysfunctional toys, the
remaining ones can be seen as an advantage instead of a detriment to the
park.
