Today we were joined by my beautiful wife, Elaine. We decided to try out a couple of local sensory parks. Our second stop of the day was North Midway Sensory Park. Here's the breakdown for how it played out.
Location: This is a large park in a residential area of Broomfield, with plenty of street parking or in nearby lots. The view wasn't very scenic, mostly of the backs of houses. There is a small stream running through the park. There was a shaded pavilion with restrooms and a water fountain.
Dad's Score: 3
Cleanliness/Safety: The playground was pretty clean. There were garbage cans available. The surface was a mixture of rubber padding and wood chips.
Dad's Score: 4
Uniqueness: There wasn't much unique about this park. Most of the equipment was pretty standard, except for one blue wave thingy that my kids didn't know what to do with.
Dad's Score: 3
Age Appropriateness: Sensory parks are not meant for older kids, and today's playgrounds were no exception. My 3 year old had a great time, but my 7 yr old was bored pretty quickly, and ended up having more fun playing in the stream.
Dad's Score: 3
Fun: This is a hard category to score, but since I'm taking Beckett's experience into account when scoring I'll score it slightly higher than Connor. Connor's score would be lower if not for the stream.
Dad's Score: 5
Final Score:
Dad: 18
