WOW..through the eyes of a 9 year old boy!

Tom is 9 years old and he sat down with his dad to list all the things he wants in a park. Here is Tom's list.

Hi my name is Tom and I am 9 years old. My dad showed me this cool playground design, and said I could write here my favourite things for a giant playground.

In order starting with my MOST favourite things:

- Water squirting from the ground like a surprise and the mist area... like at Belmont where they have a mist volcano and water squirters

- Giant swings... not baby size. I like the drawing showing the the tall swing with the hills either side so if you jump off its not too far to the ground but you can still have a giant size swing

- Flying fox - make it loooong! The baby ones are boring

- Cubby houses - big and weird - the ones all different shapes with rope bridges and stuff joining them look awesome

- Long slides down slopes - with twists and turns but still fast

- Fossils to dig up sounds interesting, and other sand stuff like the the wet sand area for making sand sculptures

- Swing for more than 1 kid to sit on... the picture witht he round swing that a few kids can sit on looks cool

- Spin around seats like at Belmont playground where you just sit on them and they spin all by themselves

- A maze please - make it harder than the baby one at kings park!

- Rock climbing area with caves and big rocks - places that are awesome for hide and seek games are cool with lots of close hidey holes

- Make your own cubby area sounds fun

- A cafe for us to get drinks and icecreams and chips and smoothies

- Water fountains

- A big spider climbing net like at Kings Park

- Things that change each time... can you like on some weekends have a bouncy castle, or Eagles players visiting, or a band that plays kids music, or face painters

- a small skate/scooter/bike area on the side so we dont run over little kids

- dirt jumps for bikes

- basketball ring and handball court

Thats enough for my wish list!
