We discovered the Road Safety Park one Saturday, when we had some time to kill before Christian’s gym class. It is right next to the old Big Splash at East Coast and I had a hazy memory of going there with my school many many years ago.
We resolved to go back there with a bicycle, and so we did this morning. It was a great place to spend a Saturday morning..Peter had bought Christian a bike from Toys R Us as we had been renting bikes at East Coast a couple of times.. It struck me on the way to the Road Safety Park that whilst adults enjoy cycling along the coastline, children find it utterly meaningless and the park would be more fun. P agreed, remarking that children need structure.
We walked round and round as Christian and Calista.. whilst it was much smaller than I remembered, it was still impossible for us to cover all the ‘road’ in 3 rounds.
I found the miniature petrol station, bus bay and car parks very amusing. It is a wonder that there is so little publicity over this attraction..P thinks it’s because it’s rather old, but i think the fact that it’s stayed there for so many years is testament to its enduring appeal.
