This is a great versa le setup, plus off ers older kids ablity to swing w/out belt swings. Mix this with the playable art playground!

I think it is not a good idea

Like rock climbing *

- I think okay- Best big jungle gym. Love hanging upside down and limbing through. Good with a bar. - Only good for li le kids, not for big kids

From the 8/10/14 1:00-2:30 MIA Family Day

Looks boring

Not accessible enough

From the online survey: - like the swings and rock climbing op ons. Dislike: too much rock climbing, no diggers! Feels like the rock climbing is blocking views to oversee kids.- dislike: it’s una rac ve, off -pu ng- My kids think it looks like fun. The color looks like it wouldnt’ stay long in MN weather- not enough climbers for older children, adults. Needs more monkey bars.- love the climber - climbing walls are fun

From the online survey: - Like: climbing and balancing- Dislike: no swings, 3 rockers and too many and 2 could be replaced with a swing, overlaying the tem-plates shoudl allow the swing in the upper right quadrant instead of 2 independant rockers- Excliding “satellites”, it appears to confi ne ac vity to a very small area- My kids like this one too. They love the climbing parts of it.- love it, so does my eight year old- I would love to see combina on of ground level playgorund with swings included and 1 rocker. this seems to give the most variety RE climbing horizontally, ver cally, balance, slide, swing (hopefully) and a rocker

- The apple and 2nd slide are good. There should be more to this - too simple. Mix with the tradi onal ground level play. (I agree)- Swings are be er than the climber.- This apple playground is fun and looks cool and easy for li le kids to hang out.- Adds a contemporary, upscale feeling to the en re neighborhood.

3rd favorite (age 8)

I really like this (for the kids that are younger)

From the 8/10/14 1:00-2:30 MIA Family Day

From the online survey: - Like: lots of climbing op ons and door/swing op ons. - Dislike: too many slides, no diggers, no swings- Meh- Looks like fairly normal play equipment. My kids like the 1st idea be er.- it’s for li le kids

From the online survey: - Like: the half round climbing op on- Dislike the snail sound op on looks like not too many op ons. Not waht kids are used to, no diggers, no swings, no rockers- My kids think this looks cool. I agreed. It reminds them/me of the sculpture gardens- Dislike. This is for li le kids, it is cute, but looks boring. Com on, this is for kids!

From the online survey: - swings, excavator, climbing equipment. Sand box- couldn’t say- My kids like playing in the sand, climbing on the equipment- Monkey bars- mokey bars, swings, climbers, spinners

From the online survey: - nothing about the equipment. Dislike cigare e bu s.- The playground seems to have run it’s course. It’s not very a rac- ve looking and looks out of place in the park. I wish we had some

thing that was fun for kids and a rac ve. I take my kids to the Sculp-ture Gardens by the Walker, so maybe something like that.- Muddy sidewalks and corners. No adult equipment.- It’s not much fun!

From the online survey: - swings, excavators, sand box, climbing equipment- It’s colorful. I like the decora ve fence that goes partway around it- I like the proximity to my apartment so it’s not far for my kids to walk to- it’s close to our house
