The very top of this playground
structure is visible from 1
st Avenue if you happen to be
stuck at a traffic light, waiting to turn onto Highway 1. Since we
almost always seem to hit this light on our way to North Van from
Richmond, we have had plenty of opportunity to notice the playground
and finally today we had our opportunity to go and play on it! It
was a bit of a grey day, the kind of day that suggests that summer
might not last forever. A couple of kids were playing there while
their uncle sat on the wobbly bridge with his face so far forward
over his device and his cap so far forward over his face that I never
did really see him. I may complain about helicopter parents
sometimes, but this uncle had clearly never heard of the term!
Charlotte had fun playing with five-year-old Jeremy and nine-year-old
Angel. Angel seemed to take to me too – I had the feeling that
she might not have a lot of adults in her life who cared about what
she had to say and she seemed very happy to be able to have a
conversation with me and to be listened to. We ended up staying much
longer than I had intended given that we still had groceries to buy
for the upcoming week! The playground is located at N 49.16.096 W
123.01.735 and is point no. 65 on the map at the bottom of home page.
