Beechwood Playground, Frick Park

I grew up going to this park. The playground use to be called Blue Slide Park, named after the wonderful blue slide that was built into the hill. The hill is still visible from one of the pictures here but has been paved over with rubberized surfacing. Gone are all the other pieces that added character to this Playground, though the playweb is a nice addition. Anyway, I look at these pictures and am a little sad. But, that said, Frick Park as a whole is still an amazing place with plenty of untouched forest and field for a child or adult of any age to enjoy. Last time I was there, I also noticed that they had made one of the back fields into a dog park area. Really, the entire park should be open to dogs, but I do appreciate that dog owners have a legitimate spot to let their friends run free.
