Play Fort

I ran into this amazing play fort yesterday at Kiyokawa Family Orchards. It was a great way to let the kids burn off some steam while you wait in line to pay for your apples. Here is what I like about it.

– The rustic wood look and feel.

– The size, it was big and tall, but felt safe.

– The opportunity for imaginative and cooperative play. It is a fort with lots of little hiding places.

– The location was perfect, sunny, open, surrounded by beautiful orchards.

 

It was a large square fort with turrets on the corners and a running deck around the top. You could also play a great game of hide and seek inside the many cubbies in the fort. Here is a fuzzy aerial of the layout. The orange slide shoots off the top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friend I was with said it looked like fort Vancouver and It does! See the historic fort photo below. (Thanks to rootsweb.ancestry.com for the photo)
