Micheal There are stairs at the new Park Board Offices, you could always take the kids their and let them see haw many times they can climb them while timing them with your watch. We use the Stone arch Bridge year round as great free entertainment. In the summer its great to watch the boats come and go through the Locks. You can climb the stairs or take the elevator in the observation tower also. Minnehaha Falls also makes great entertainment. If you just have a short time we stay up on top and watch the Falls. Or if we need to burn off a lot of energy we take the stars down to the bottom. There are some nice cool place down below to play when the weather is hot. Each Park has its own different type of play equipment so each park is not the same. Also some have great shade BELTRAMI Park off Broadway & Taylor Is under great Oak trees. LOGAN has a great ship for younger kids to play on. Let the kids pick a park off a map and go on an adventure.
One of my granddaughters best memories is of a creative movement class we did at Pratt school when she was 4 she still talks about it and she is now 9. This was an Community Ed Class, for early childhood. I may live in Hawthorne that has never stopped me from exploring the entire city with her. That summer we would leave the house after breakfast and not return until late afternoon. Grandpa was working deep nights and sleeping days. Yes she was my full time job.
