Leschi Park swings are back!

Leschi Park swings are back!
Or actually, there are new swings, the oldies have been replaced. I previously reported that the swings had been taken out. I also posted long ago of the old swings, which I really loved.
This new swing set is more in line with the newer playgrounds of Seattle, wood chips and all. They're still fun, in a great place, but lack the olden charm of the previous.


Location of swings: On S. Leschi Pl. right after it comes off of Lake Washington Blvd S.
Number of swings: 2 regular, 1 baby bucket, 1 baby seat
Ground material: Wood chips
Chain length: Long.

Loyal Heights Playground

Location of swings: 22nd Ave NW and NW 77th St.
Number of swings: 2 regular, 1 tire
Ground material: Wood chips
Chain length: Long.


Just north of Ballard, you find Loyal Heights Playground (of course, you'll probably notice nearby Salmon Bay Park along the way). It's adjacent a community center and school, so it's pretty busy. A quaint little park, but its swings dangle too low and close to the ground for my liking.
