Visit to Adventure Park

Few months back my son and his friends went to their wrap up party of their “Odyssey of the mind” competition group. Those who follow me know that my son took party in that competition this year. Though they couldn’t make it, but at least they could secure the fourth position. Anyway, after the competition in March, their coach wanted a wrap up party for the kids , and we all parents agreed with her. 

She decided to have the party at Adventure Playground at the Berkeley Marina. I didn’t know about the park before. She told that kids could play with all the broken stuffs, they could something from throw broken pieces of wood, nails, and many more useless articles, which we usually prohibit them to use. 

When we reached the park we saw there a broken boat, few broke drums, many more broken trash. Those “trash” were smartly arranged , so that the kids could enjoy. The park reminded me my childhood. At that time our parents didn’t protect us that much. So, we played with all broken tins, sticks, clay, and many more items. Many of them were not good choice to play with. Actually, we did many of those mischiefs without the knowledge of our parents. So, the park rekindled our childhood memories, and we chatted about our mischiefs at a length. 

I remember vividly that on incident occurred when I was in grade two. I had been doing some dangerous tricks on swing, and landed on my back on the ground. The ground was not protected with any soft material, and I got a huge bruise on my mack. On the top of that I had math test on next day. It really made difficult me to sit properly on next day, and I did poor in the test. Now it is funny to me, but at that time it was not funny at all.Anyway, wonderful unique outdoor facility of unusual  staffs encourage children to play and build creative things. Those really boost up the creativity in the children minds. As it was a little dangerous the parents supervision was always needed. They drove the broken boat, they built “house” with broken wood, nail, and hammer. Those throw away articles give immense pleasure to the kids.
