Whenever I get into a conversation about park hopping I am often asked "aren't you scared to go to some of those places?" The answer is no, I'm not scared. Mostly because I've got a good head on my shoulders and know better than to go places that aren't safe. If we ever arrive at a park that gives me a funny feeling, we leave right away. That being said, Frederick Johnson Playground is an example of how wrong you can be about places. Wedged between a school and government houses, this playground is not a place the girls would ever get the chance to visit if it wasn't for our adventure. The playground is more of a park, with chess tables and benches full of people chatting on phones or eating lunch. In one corner a group of teenage girls practiced a dance routine, providing me hours of entertainment (why can't I dance like that??). And the girls had a blast. They made friends and played some sort of cross between house and tag. The concrete cylinders were also a lot of fun. Annie wanted to climb up all by herself and then (with my assistance) jump down roughly a billion times.
