Serpent Park

Eric has very fond memories of Serpent Park, a Nashville landmark, as best I can tell. The park's core is great whimsical City Museum-esque serpent and dragon sculptures, which are perfect for climbing, exploring, investigating, and just sitting. Even though we're blocking the shot, you can still get an idea of the play space here.
Raina didn't want to climb on the sculptures much, and she migrated toward the more traditional playspaces. She did slides and walked on a shaky bridge, and then we found this highly advanced see-saw.
Eric tried to fling Raina off, and then to fling off Raina and Emily, but he's wasn't successful. He came close a few times though!

The other part of Serpent Park that Eric remembers most vividly is the large climbing structure shown below. He played King of the Mountain on it as a kid, and he was struck by how much smaller it seemed now that he's all grown up. (I know, sad.) Raina liked climbing it, but she's not a King of the Mountain girl -- especially when the top of the mountain is covered in mud. So Eric, Emily, and Raina did great chase games throughout the park instead and a wonderful time was had by all.
