It\u2019s a playground for kids and adults alike (though not very small kids \u2013 the minimum age is 7), featuring rock climbing walls, swinging monkey-bars, a trapeze, tightropes, a jousting wall, a tricky rope ladder, and gigantic slip-\u2018n-slides in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>We recently had a birthday party there for our youngest daughter, and I had envisioned my job as setting up the refreshments, cutting the cake, and taking some pictures.
