I love parks with Munchkin and friends and wish their were more 'great' playgrounds around! I love playgrounds that are fenced for safety, have a sunshade, and an area for littlies and biggies - much easier that way! I have a park about 5 minutes walk away with a great cafe opposite - mum nirvana :) Gypsys last blog post..<a href="http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2008/07/worth-musing-over.html" rel="nofollow">Worth musing over</a> An old post I know, but I wanted to comment.

Something which I never thought of doing until recently was to take my eldest (5 y.o)to skateboard parks which have been superb! Great for his balance and adventure side, confidence in sharing the park with much older boys and he's been chatting with them to find out how to do "tricks". He loves using his scooter there doing jumps and all sorts. I tend to close one eye and watch with a hand over my other eye!! We've got so many great skateboard parks in Australia ... check out www.skateboard.com.au which has an interactive skateboard park finder. We also tend to have a play at parks and go for long bike or scooter rides on the weekend and we meet our mother's group in parks every week. Like you said PQ, its great for my little two year old to learn to take turns and be social etc. We love going to the park and we usually get there at least twice if not three times a week!
