Parks

3/30
We have been enjoying gorgeous weather.  It has been fun to explore the parks and playgrounds.  There is a cute neighborhood playground in our town, a couple roads up.  We go there daily.  In Bad Margentheim there is a wonderful green expanse with paths, waterways, bridges, ducks and play areas.  The first play area we came across was a sort of obstacle course/fitness station set up.  It has a balance station with tight ropes, rolling logs, balance beams and rope ladder bridges.  There are other stations for situps, pull ups and a neat pedal track to stand on and pedal up and down while moving down a track!  The kids loved it!

Nearby is a concrete area with large board game designs painted on the concrete and knee high (to an adult) playing pieces.  Here are some older gentlemen playing chess!

Further down the path is a row of science based manipulatives.  I huge xylophone, a water funnel machine that you control with a crank handle and a ball knocker.  What are those things called!?

Farther down the path is a playground with sand toy pulleys, a platform swing, and some other fun new things to play on.  This park is directly behind the castle courtyard of the college.  It will be a great place to take the kids and meet up with JB for lunch or after school!
