The intent of the new playground is that it will use 'universal’ design features. That is, children with disabilities and for children without disabilities. With that being said, are there any other features you would like to see at the playground?

    I have two favorites. Rocky Run and Lyon Village. I love how rocky run separates big kids from little kids play area and there is water near the sand area so you can wash off the sand after playing. I like how Lyon Village has more covered picnic table areas right next to the playground so parents can sit at the tables with food while the kids play in the playground. Shade for sitting/eating areas and play areas is very important, especially for babies and toddlers. Right now the distance in quincy park is too far from the picnic tables to the play area. Also plenty of benches around the playground is useful for parents to park their strollers and put their diaper bags down, or moms to nurse their babies. You can never have too much sitting areas! Lastly, I like Lyon Village because it has fences around a very large play area, so you know your kids can't run out to the street.

    that more people can use it, because on a summer day which is sunny it's hard for kids to use the playground when the slides get hot and the seats in the swing get hot.
