What would happen if you asked children to design their own playground? What would that playground look like? What would a child's imagination conjure up?
To find out, spend some time at one of my favorite play areas in Kitsap County -- KitsapKids Playground at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds!
The playground was designed based on input from children, and it includes a boat, castle towers, numerous slides, several swings for big kids and babies alike, and a tot area. There are also covered picnic tables, 
surrounded by a great mural.
My son and his friend Alex had a wonderful time playing on the equipment last week, climbing up the ladders, running along the raised pathways from one castle tower to another, then sliding down the slide at the other end. It is a huge play structure, so it was easy for them to run away from Alex's little sister PJ.
Mom Naya and I sat in a covered seating area near the front entrance, so we could make sure no one was able to escape from the e
nclosed playground. The kids were especially fascinated by the large musical instruments near the entrance to the playground. It was a great way to spend an hour on a sunny March afternooon -- the kids played and wore themselves out while Naya and I got to chat and catch up.
KitsapKids Playground is located on Stampede Boulevard, just south of President's Hall at the Fairgrounds and Fairgrounds Road. The Fairgrounds area is also a nice area to live in, with affordable quality homes in the Central Kitsap School District. See an example here.
