Last spring I wrote about the new
castle-themed park near our neighborhood. It turns out Luxembourg City is in the process of creating/upgrading at least 10 playgrounds in this wooden/whimsical-themed style over the next few years.
This country doesn't have one of the highest GDPs in the world for nothing, I suppose.
We were among the first to know about and visit Castle Park, judging by the flood of "WHERE IS THIS???" questions prompted by my post. This time we're a bit later to the party; there's been some serious mommy-buzz about the new Farm Park for months and it finally opened a couple of weeks ago. James and I decided to check it out yesterday while Daphne was otherwise occupied.
But just in case someone in Luxembourg hasn't been (which I doubt, because I think we were all there yesterday afternoon) I can show you exactly where it is. The secret's already out this time!

| It's in the Gasperich neighborhood |
 |
| better to to come at it from one of the streets to the south, not sure if you can walk up from Rue de la Déportation |
This park has plenty of shade, and the structures are spread over more space than at Castle Park.
 |
| official entrance - and the name on the sign is "English Garden" |
It's sad to admit that it won't be long before our kids are too old for these parks! Daphne actually complains about bumping her head a lot in the main structure at Castle Park, and this one is of similar size. But I think we can still squeeze a couple more years out of them. James quite enjoyed the little obstacle course.

| notice he's climbing between giant stalks of wheat |
 |
| hooray for large motor skills |
And, like Castle Park, all the lovely wooden details make for great atmosphere.

| *baa* |

| terrified *oink* (*quiek* in German) |
 |
| *meow* |
 |
| *no idea* |
 |
| *crunch* |
And you're never too old for swings.
The next theme-playgound is slated for 2015 in the Cents neighborhood. We'll be enjoying Farm Park in the meantime.
