Whirling Down Slides and Wading in Streams

Hey guys! I have another entry about Pennsylvania for you!! I went to the Kids' Castle Playground, located in Central Park in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. 

The castle is made of mostly wood, something you don’t see on as many playgrounds today. It is like a maze inside, because there are so many twists, turns, and many different ways to go. I would not recommend it for claustrophobic people because some of the tunnels and pathways can get small and narrow! Did you know that the playground is eight stories tall?

There are two green, enclosed tube slides. The slides start at a very high part of the castle. They are very twisty and are kind of like a giant spiral down.

Something else I like about the playground is that it has lots of pieces of artwork on it, as can be seen above. The playground also has a smaller “pirate ship” for little kids to play on, and some other things to do such as two “rock” towers you can climb on.

Just behind the fenced-in playground area is a stream that I like to wade in, especially if it's a warm day. The stream is shallow with a rocky bottom. Since the deepest it gets is a little past your ankles, you can wade in regular clothes. I like the stream a lot because I can’t really wade or go in freshwater in Florida because of alligators.

It is fun to watch the water bugs and dragonflies, see how far you can wade until you are blocked by plants, walk under the bridge that crosses the stream, and climb on the big river rocks.

This playground is one of my favorite things to do when I visit my grandparents every summer in Pennsylvania, so I do it every time. So if you like playing and having fun, and then relaxing with your feet in a stream, then this is the playground for you!
