"An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered." --G.K. Chesterton
Adventure Playgrounds
There's an unusual park in Berkeley, California. Looking at it, "playground" probably wouldn't be your first thought. "Junkyard" is more like it. And well, that would be accurate. Berkeley's Adventure Playground is one of a handful of playgrounds in the United States based on a concept that grew in popularity after World War II. During the Nazi occupation of Denmark, the landscape architect C. Th. Sorensen created a new playground with whatever junk was available. It turned out, that's exactly what kids like.There is no equipment, as such, in the park. Instead, kids are confronted with boards, spare tires, telephone poles, and lots and lots of mud.
BE THE CHANGE
The next time you encounter an inconvenience try approaching it in the spirit of adventure.
