EPCOT International Flower, Garden & Playground Festival
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009
The amazing array of flowers, topiaries and landscape enhancements is perhaps eclipsed in the eyes of many families with small children by the array of playground equipment installed throughout EPCOT this year. The other amazing thing is that they are not just for looking at. Kids are all over them. Considering that the installations also include “jungle gym” type play areas, I’m surprised that the potential liability didn’t squelch this idea. My youngest son broke his arm when he was in grade school on one of these, and the orthopedist joked that “jungle gyms” were his biggest source of business.
There is no doubt that these are popular areas. I guess I’m just jealous that they didn’t have things like this when I was a kid. Of course if they would let me on there for a while I’d still enjoy it… until the next morning.
