The Spider Dome

Lincoln has several nice play areas for kids around town, with enough variations to keep just about everybody happy. But to my knowledge the "spider dome" -- that's what I'm calling it -- in Union Plaza is the first of its type in the city. image It is a geodesic dome structure with a mesh of heavy-duty ropes to climb on and hang from. It's absolutely fantastic for kids. It's large enough to support several active players at once. It includes a variety of opportunities to climb, hang, and even lay down. And best of all, it features a reasonable degree of danger that presents a number of challenges to kids as they play on it. It is significantly less safe than, say, the nearly danger-free Antelope Park playground. That's either a feature or a bug depending on your kids and your parenting style. I love it. image I want one for my yard. And not for my kids. Well, not just for my kids. I would have fun on it, too. Unfortunately I don't think The Missus will let me dip into the kids' college funds to buy one.
