Earlier in the summer the City of Lakeway dedicated the new playscape. At the time, other events were going on, so today we are going to visit the playscape. We are catered by Luties of Austin, and our entertainment is Rod Stewart.
Brunch menu
Fruits de Mer – east coast oysters, poached shrimp, crudo
Pistachio Matcha Soft Serve
Matcha Overnight Oats – pumpkin seeds, berries
Petit Aioli
Estate Bread – saffron honey, butter terrine
Turkish Eggs – yogurt, chili, flatbread
Spanish Frittata – hollandaise, treviso
Yécora Rojo Crêpe – maine lobster, mornay
Gulf Shrimp Omelette – smoked trout roe, hollandai
Bagels with Almost Everything | For Two
Oyster Mushroom Hashbrown -fried egg, radish, habanero
Barbecued Gulf Shrimp + Grits
Croque Madame – smoked ham, sunny-side egg, gruyere
Waffle – roasted banana, pumpkin seed
Brioche French Toast – citrus, coconut cream

The bus is ready.

Here is the entrance.

We have to walk through a relaxing area of the Activity Center.

Along the building.

Through another gate, and here we are. The dedication.

A welcoming water feature.

The play structure.

An example of the many games available. There is a crank that activates the game.

Climb the little hill and go through the log. Those mushrooms in the background provide sound when struck with a mallet.

Modern-day teeter-totter.

Wind chimes provide a relaxing background.

The Producer was brave enough to climb to the top of the play structure.

Here is a view from up there. Swings, the fountain, and those snake-looking things are more instruments.

The aerial view of the log, mushrooms, and teeter-totter. The flower on the left can be played as well.

On the other side of the fountain is a tortoise sculpture.

As we leave, we see a little more information about the play scape.
Now is the time to relax with the food and music. I hope you have a beautiful week.

The water feature looks like a map of the lower half of Australia. Any way, who takes a mallet to a playground?

The mallets are attached to the sound vehicles. Doesn’t matter how old. You could still have fun.

One of the swings has a place for a child, and opposite the child is a place for the adult, complete with a holder for a phone, allowing photos to be taken of the child.

The playground looks like a fun place for children and adults. I see that the planners were smart and put up shades and put down light-colored ground. Here in Tallahassee, several years ago, they constructed a playground at a local park and laid down a BLACK ground cover of chewed up tires. It wasn’t long before parents complained of their kids getting burned when they fell on the ground.

Wow, teeter-totters have really evolved over time, haven’t they? Who knew! I’m surprised y’all had the playscape to yourselves for the photos — I’d have thought it would be a madhouse of kiddos! It’s the water feature, though, that I’m especially impressed by — such a thoughtful addition.

That’s a very nice playscape, John. Thanks for the tour. I went down a couple of rabbit holes looking up the Matcha Soft Serve. That sounds delicious! I’d be happy to have that for breakfast. The Rod Stewart song is the perfect touch (or palate cleanser). 🙂 Have a brilliant new week. Hugs.
