Joseph C. Sauer Playground

Definitely a great playground for kids. It gets pretty crazy when nearby schools release their kids and everyone bombards it all at once but it’s a pretty controlled chaos in there. The playground is enclosed and can only be entered and exited by the front gate so it’s a pretty safe place to let your kids run around.

This is right across the street from where I live.
They finished building this one third block playground about 12 years ago. It took them about four years to complete. Those are City workers for you. There were four men sitting around reading the newspaper, while two others worked very slowly. Some days/​weeks nothing would get done.
You tax dollars at work.
Today it is a nice, well kept playground. In the summer they have a spray fountain. There are a lot of birthday party’s all summer and it’s right next to El Sol Brillante, our wonderful community garden.
Only children and their guardians are permitted to enter. I’ve only been in a couple of times, and always with a female friend, to eat lunch. I’d never go in alone. A single guy in a playground might cause a stir.
