Now appearing . . . MPR


Today we are introducing you all to a new "special feature" of the Slow Lane. For obvious reasons, this new feature is entitled Margaret's Playground Review (MPR). MPR will periodically bring you cutting edge playground reviews from across the nation, straight from 40 inch playground force to be reckoned with, Maggie.

For our first report, we feature the playground at Longfellow Elementary in Salida, CO. This is a classic elementary school playground with a compelling mix of old and new equipment intelligently placed across sand, grass, and hard playing surfaces. Special highlights include multiple slides, swings, bouncing animals, and climbing apparatuses.

We started of the day with some classic sliding, followed by running, some rocking animals, and wrapped things up with multiple climbing excursions. This playground is bigger than many elementary facilities and it made for a great play session.

When asked what she would rate the Longfellow playground on a scale of 1-5 stars, Maggie enthusiastically gave it 10 stars. Clearly a great review from Maggie. No doubt the bar has been set high for future playgrounds, we'll see how it all shakes out in future editions of MPR. Thanks for tuning in...

Love the MPR! Malcolm and Owen are anxiously awaiting the next post. Good work, Maggie!
The whole gang is welcome to stay here in Sunny Cal should you venture this way. Harold and Maude will fit in beautifully in our backyard. Might scare the possum away finally! Do you have a planned route or is this a la carte traveling, as you wish?
Much Love, The Mac Family
