Wheeler Park, Wilmette, IL
We happened across this little park hidden in a residential neighborhood and thought it would make a lovely location for a pre-school picnic. I wasn't so sure about this park once I realized that the entire base of the playground was sand. It's no secret that I hate sand. It gets everywhere, is impossible to get out of hair, and I find little grains of it *everywhere* for weeks after just one trip to the beach (and I don't even want to go into how unsanitary it can be....).
Anyway, the kids love it, and they were thrilled to discover that previous park patrons had left several construction trucks to play with. The park itself also had some unique buckets, scoops, pulley systems and tubes so that the kids could interact with the sand in new and interesting ways.
