Haven't written in a while and will be a bit rusty. Recently, the little one's childcare centre took a break so had to think of what to do to keep her occupied. Recently chanced upon a somewhat unique-looking playground while catching a World Cup match at the Radin Mas Community Club.
It was shaped like a pirate ship and in the land of generic playgrounds, it stands out. Thought the little girl would like it so made use of the opportunity of her day off from school to check it out.
Looks like a fun playground…
Little one nowadays still expected me to act as her pseudo playmate so some of the photos below were taken from the perspective of tagging along behind her. The playground consist of a main platform (pirate ship) which had one slide at the top with various ways to reach it.
The playground manufacturer was Playcraft Systems — a surprisingly not cookie cutter playground (well done for them). So many of incredthe playgrounds they installed come across as I have to say that I

Little one enjoyed the playground. There were enough manageable obstacles to challenge her. The the slide was suitably paved for her age and size. I thought it was nice too mainly because that the design by Playcraft Systems surprised me. But some cookie cutter stuff did make it into this playground which were incongruent with the pirate theme.
What's a rocket ship doing next to a pirate ship?

If I were to come up with a (farfetched) story to string these disparate elements with the pirate ship: Space pirates landed on a distant planet inhabited by dinosaur-like creatures. An adventure like no other…
Haha. I am being too critical on Playcraft Systems maybe. Just thought that it was a wasted opportunity that a potentially uniquely designed playground was marred by some mismatched features. I still liked it but it could've been so much more…
That's it for another blog post. Thanks for reading. Stay healthy and safe.
