Intelligently Designed Nature
I know what they’re going for, but I still think it sounds funny that there needs to be a planning open house for a “natural” play area in Belmont Park. Can you plan a natural space? In any event, there’s some validity to the notion that most kids don’t spend enough time interacting with nature. And no, picking a lone dandelion in an otherwise immaculate yard doesn’t count.
The Wilsons don’t need a “natural” play area. We live very close to Beal Slough, the creek that runs along much of Highway 2. It’s a perfect play area, and it has the benefit of not having been planned as a play area.
What other areas in town are excellent “natural” play areas? Wilderness Park and portions of Pioneers Park are obvious candidates, as is Tierra Park. Any others?

I used to live near 27th & Fletcher along Salt Creek. It was fun to wander back there & spot deer. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of litter that I suspect blew there.
