If you have never heard of or been to the Smith Play Place, it is an incredible playground, far more than your average playground with monkey bars and see-saws. The design of this playground is unbelievable. The play structures were like nothing I have seen before. I could try to explain them in words, but my explanations would not do the structures justice. My best advice is check it out at http://smithkidsplayplace.org/ and you will not be disappointed!

Today was no different, in fact, it was harder! It was a bit of a challenge to get kids to play switch and four-square when the playground from the future was staring them down. Another challenge was the space that we had. We had a small patch of grass that was a bit uneven.

In true Playworks fashion, we worked around this obstacle and still set up some games and activities. Our biggest success was Switch! We got a bunch of great games of Switch going on throughout the day. Some of the kids just wanted to toss a Frisbee, or kick a ball around with us. Either way, we were there to help out the community by playing!
Although we had to compete with the mega-playground, it was still a successful day for Playworks and everyone involved in the event.
