Climb Every Mountain: Brookside Triangle Park.
At a certain age, playgrounds cease being a place for mild mannered amusement and become the spot for mini Evel Knievels in training to attempt audacious stunts.
Visiting a busy playground often gives me an anxiety attack as I watch kids dangle from the top of swing structures, or climb down the outside of towering tube slides. I’m always certain that someone is going to break their arm, leg, or lose any number of appendages.
Unfortunately, my 5 year old is nearing this nervy age and is ripe for influence. He wants to imitate every cool kid that he sees at the park.
Thankfully, there is a playground that delivers thrills while keeping my heart rate steady.
TheBrookside TrianglePark at 58th Street andBrookside Blvd is a small pocket park with big personality.
The playground packs an imaginative punch with giant springs, a whirly gig, and ear splitting musical chimes.
The best part is the play structure, whose two halves are separated by a craggy peak. Only the bravest mountaineers will make it from one side to the other.
So tell your grade-schooler to grab a pick ax, don their crampons, and beware of altitude sickness; it’s time to conquer the mountain!
