Progress on Midwood HS Park!

There's been a bit of progress over at the Midwood HS park. Construction crew began to ready the front area yesterday to pour concrete for the sidewalk. The playground area has been fitted with safety mats and is looking good. I inquired with the crew about the possible opening and was told that the projection is late June.

Getting ready for the pour.

New safety Mats.

As a playground connoisseur (with roughly 7 years experience) the only problem with that opening date is that it will be hot as hell for most of the day. I think the plan for the space includes some tree planting so in about 5 years this place will be great all year. Until then, mama will just have to slather the kids up with SPF 95 and wear a wide-brimmed hat. Whatever. I'm going to find a way to enjoy this much-needed public space!
