Sandstone Ranch: Adventure Playground and Wheels Park
Upon entering Sandstone Ranch Park, you are greeted with a sign sharing that it is an “Adventure Playground and Wheels Park”. What a fun sounding experience ahead! Our first few times visiting Sandstone Ranch were for our school’s 100 Mile Club. The 0.7 mile path was perfect to get in some extra miles, but it was the promise of the “cow and turtle playground” that got the girls moving. As you’ll see below, the park is not only home to traditional playground equipment, it also has a farm themed toddler area, splash pad and skate park!

Grand Re-Opening of Erie’s Crescent Park Playground & Challenge Course!
My daughters and I were absolutely thrilled to be part of the Virtual Re-Opening celebration of Crescent Park in Erie on September 28th! I don’t know if the girls really grasped the Leslie Knope coolness factor of that or if they only heard “you get to be the first kids to try out the playground”…either way, none of us could wait to get there! No longer are the faded play structures to be seen, this new GameTime equipment is bright and eye-catching. One side has the more traditional elements (slides, swings, spinners) and the other side is a 7 piece challenge course! This post may contain affiliate links and while…
