Today Audrey and I crossed two more parks off the list today. Saint Mary’s Park playground and the Edison Building playground.
The progress so far. The stick pins are the parks we’ve been to.
Here are some pictures from our trip.

On the way home!
I’m starting a new series of blogs entitled “Park Ratz”. Audrey and I plan on visiting every single Rochester Public Playground. In total there is a list of 72 playgrounds on the Rochester Park and Rec website.
Here is the map I created on Google Maps that points out the location of each one. The pin points are parks we’ve visited and the droplet looking markers are the one’s we haven’t.

This list of 72 isn’t a comprehensive list. It doesn’t include playgrounds at elementary schools or places like the Boys and Girls Club. We eventually want to visit all of those as well.
It’s amazing how many really nice “diamond in the rough” playgrounds out there. We’re going out to find all of them!
Here are the first two parks we visited. Northern Heights Park and Cassidy Park. Northern Heights sas really hard to find. There was a paved asphalt path between two houses. If you didn’t know it was there you’d miss it. It has really nice beach style sand.
Cassidy park it hidden behind Century High School and is about 3 blocks down a large hill off Viola Road. There were these spinners where you could hang and spin. I swear I was spinning 50 RPM. Enough to make me sick (not really).
