Duboce Park Playground, A Neighborhood Playground, 1. Editorial Image

Neighborhood playgrounds are meant to be fun safe places for kids of all ages to play. They get to meet other, new kids and learn how to build relationships. Playgrounds used to be made with hard concrete or asphalt. But children would get hurt when they would fall, and children do fall readily. Playgrounds used to be made with sand, to soften the blows when children fell. But things can be hidden in sand. Including dangerous things. Now playgrounds are made from a soft, squishy material, made from the rubber of recycled tires. So be a kid and play with your kids in a neighbor playground today.
