Adventure Playground

21may2011
- and so my family says: after 10 years we finally came and visit this place again

Adventure Playground is one of the Marina Experience programs and has been written up as a top 10 playground in National geographic. It was voted the Best Creative Play space in Diablo magazine. YELP has rated this playground 4 out of 5. Adventure Playground have been written about in the Chronicle, the Boston Globe and Newsweek as one of the Top 5 play spaces in the country.


and we wonder




The Adventure Playground at the Berkeley Marina was opened 31 years ago in 1979. It is a wonderfully unique outdoor facility where staff encourage children to play and build creatively.  Come climb on the many unusual kid designed and built forts, boats, and towers. Ride the zip line or hammer, saw, and paint. By providing these low risk activities Adventure Playground creates opportunities for children to learn cooperation, meet physical challenges and gain self confidence.  The concept for Adventure Playgrounds originated in Europe after World War II, where a playground designer studied children playing in the "normal" asphalt and cement playgrounds. He found that they preferred playing in dirt and lumber from the post war rubble. He realized that children had the most fun designing and building their own equipment and manipulating their environment. The formula for Adventure Playgrounds includes Earth, fire, water, and lots of creative materials.

the beach, right outside adventure playground

this is our weekend

dad lift me up and got me into believing we are off to buy a kite to stay at the beach.  not really, we are heading to our recognizable car and i start whining, badly refused to get in and leave the playground or the beach.  dad start driving, i kept whining, mom start whining, kuya nifty starts whining, dad threatened everyone to throw us all in the middle of the road.  the whining continue  until we got 40pcs of senorita bread. everybody stop whining. we start eating, laughing, talk back the adventure playground and the beach. and that's when we greatly enjoy this weekend - as we all knew it from the start.
kuya kerks @work :( and miss the fun.
