as a parent of young children I have many occasion to be in a park with my kids (less so now as we enter the monsoon season). It astounds me how poorly equipped Vancouver parks are with leisure equipment and playgrounds. Some parks have invested in 3 or 4 pieces of what should be much larger jungle gym systems. I caught a glance of such an example a couple of weeks back while i was in seattle, and took the kids to a park in bellevue while my wife shopped.
this park had the same brand of jungle gym that many of our parks have, but with many many more options, activities and amusements. i mean even my 4 year old was shocked.
also, while i am bitching about parks, why the fuck doesn't stanley park have a huge public icerink - central park style??? i mean seriously we live in canada, we have a huge amazing park right in the center of our city what better way to bring people into the park to enjoy it in winter than to have an ice rink there???
