Draft: I used to spend summer days at the park playground. I still remember the laughter and the smell of sizzling hot dogs that drifted on the breeze. I loved the swings. My fingers squeezed the cold metal chains as I flew high. My hair whipped and whooshed around my face. The shiny slide was often hot from the afternoon sun. It burned, but I always felt better when I landed on the soft, cool dirt. Bouncing up and down on the old wooden see-saw was fun, too. All kids should have a great playground to run around and play.
