Alright, sorry to have been gone for so long but life has been busy around here. Today I want to talk about Pullen Park which reopened about six months ago.
IF you have kids the park is great. There is an awesome train ride that goes around the length of the park and takes about five minutes for the whole train ride. There are also kiddie boats (which are kind of lame...in my humble opinion). Both the rides only cost...$1! That is awesome and cheap. When I went with D I spent 10 on tickets and we rode the train four times and he did the boats two. Needless to say he had a blast.
Along with the trains the rest of the park is great! There are three playground areas for kids to run, climb, and slide on along with two sandboxes. And these aren't your everyday sandboxes... you can dig like your on a construction site and really make a good mountain of sand. They also have a little area in the sandboxes where you can play in a "house." When we went D and a few other kids were operating a pizza shop and slice was a low $30,000. Watch out Hermain Cain.
With the renovations Pullen Park has added a little cafe area that uses local food distributors. It was a nice touch to the end of the day. The food was pretty good and not too pricey.
Take your kids, play and have fun and wish for the nap on the car ride home. :)
