Playground Review: Indoor Tubes at Rock Creek

It’s a chilly, rainy day, and I’m about to go pick up my kindergartener, who will be wound up from spending the entire day inside. Meanwhile, the thunder is keeping my three year old from taking a nap, so he’ll be whiny and crabby without some serious diversion.  It’s days like today that I’m glad to live near this particular playground, which is inside a church but open to the public (FREE).

Playground: The Indoor Climbing Tubes @ The Church at Rock Creek

Equipment: Plastic/Netting

• Climbing stairs/ladders/platforms
• hanging rings
• play house
• 1 small slide, 1 medium slide, 1 XL slide, 1 toddler slide

Setting: Indoor (climate controlled)

Surface: plastic/padded vinyl

Seating: chairs and padded benches

Comments: It can be noisy here because of echoes.  Smaller preschoolers may have difficulty with the upper level, but it is pretty easy for adults to climb up and lend assistance.  There is also a separate toddler play area with pint-sized features.  This is a great place to let the kids run off some steam when it is too hot/cold/wet to be outside.
