Playground
 
We have our young grandchildren visiting next week and were wondering if anyone is familiar with a playground/park (swings, slides and climbing gyms etc.) in the Villages or nearby that we may access for their enjoyment. Thanks.

Lake Sumter Landing has a playground across from Whiskey Creek Grill.

Playground for adults too
 
I'd like to see some heavy playground equipment, maybe at the regional rec centers, that was strong enough so a fatso like me could use the swings. I'll pass on the slides, teeter totter, and monkey bars, but even at our age, maybe especially at our age, sometimes it feels really great to swing your troubles away on a nice long swing set. Really kick those feet and get way up there so your feet almost touch the stars. 040

Maybe I'll add that to the Resident Survey next week.

Mr Muncle or is it Uncle Muncle??
Are you running a fever? In all seriousness (that will be the day) how about you and fumar and Eddie and myself meeting at Urban Flats in April and lets do a comedy skit. I'll be the straight man ;D
Handie :joke:

Handie :joke:

But I wanted to be the straight guy. I am SO gullible. Does sound like a good idea, though much of my future planning is dentally dependent. Half of a massive bridge (in my mouth, not Minneapolis) broke and it looks like we're going with implants to replace. Don't yet have a timetable. In the interim, I'm doing a Walter Brennan imitation so I am completely avoiding society, be it polite or otherwise. If it ain't drive-thru, I don't do it. I've even removed the mirrors from my house. (Golf is, of course, excepted.)

Lake Miona Park is very close to the Villages and has a small playground area. Google it.
