What are some good playgrounds?
• Allmendinger Park (on Pauline) has two kinds of baby swings, and lots of sand. • A longer drive away is Mill Pond Park in Saline. It’s got a fabulous “castle” playground for all ages, mostly gated in, as well as a nice stream with a bridge for playing pooh-sticks. • Our daycare provider lives across the street from a small park, but it’s got a nice sandbox (bring your own toys) and some good baby swings. It’s Meadowbrook Park, which you can to via North Brook or via Seventh Street (take it south until it ends). It always has kids in it, and the other parents are generally friendly. In fact, I often wish we lived in that neighborhood. • While not a playground per se, we’ve spent many many hours on U-M campus with our child. On the weekends it’s pretty tame, and you can enjoy huge expanses of space without worrying about cars. There are flowers, grass, squirrels, fountains, etc. Our son always liked to walk along the wide raised concrete borders of the flower beds. • Eberwhite School h
