[quote=jwizzle]UCGal – you and I must live in the same neighborhood, since there WAS a shot (actually 2) of the play structures at Standley in the listing for the house I purchased last year. And yes, my first thought was a sarcastic ‘wow, there is a park in the neighborhood… I would never expect that in the suburbs.’ I’m speculating I would have found it even without a picture in the listing. That being said, with a toddler, I do go to the park a lot, so i’m glad it is there and it was a consideration in my purchase.[/quote]
Don’t get me wrong – it’s a nice playground. And the rec center has awesome sports programs for the kids when they get to grade school age. (Little League, soccer, basketball, etc.)
Have you checked out the other parks with playgrounds in south UC? – there’s one on the west end – on Stresseman adjacent to the montesori school, and another on the east end, nicknamed “dinosaur park” – but technically knows as University City Gardens Park, at Governor and Gullstrand. When my kids were toddlers I liked Dinosaur park a lot. And the loop around the play equipment makes for good trike/bike/skooter endless loops.
