Bubbles and slides at Legaspi Park

What is it in bubbles that makes kids and toddlers chase them up?

Earlier, both Rafa and Angel, together with other kids and toddlers were chasing bubbles inside Legaspi Park. And the kids don't really mind whether the adult who is blowing the bubbles away is their own mom or dad, what matters are the bubbles.

Legaspi Park is just a five minute walk from our greenhome. In the mornings and late afternoon, it is full of young and old joggers. Cecile and I have jogged around Legaspi Park a few times, specially, when we need to "train" for a fun run.

This Christmas season, a couple of all-white Christmas trees were put up. Nothing really fantastic in terms of design and color, but does give the park some kind of Christmas spirit.

It is not really a clean park and even, child-friendly. There is no comfort room inside the park. One would need to go to Starbucks at the corner of Rufino and Legaspi Streets to relieve oneself.

The slide is old and has some rust. I don’t think they even sweep it or clean it. Sometimes, some older kids or even high school boys play around this place and they bump off the toddlers! The park authorities should have a round the clock security guard to keep the boys out of the slide. And by 7pm, it is really dark as there are no lights inside the park, which makes it look gloomy and dark. Maybe, the MACEA authorities or LGU can do something to improve this park to make it more ideal and fun for parents and kids to share time and fun together!

But for kids, it really doesn’t matter. Rafa, wearing the Canada-branded baseball cap that Minnie gave a few months ago, still enjoys the slide.
