The children's play space at Seven Bends State Park now has improved steps to the tower. The tower is modeled after the Woodstock Tower on top of the mountain, which is taller.
The new steps are not as steep as they were originally designed. Although they do not match the lookout tower as closely, they are safer for children.
Charlie and I were there today for a walk. People were enjoying the nice weather, and I saw someone fishing in the river.

It’s great to hear that the steps were redesigned for better safety, even if they differ a bit from the original tower — making the play space more accessible for kids is definitely the right priority!
ReplyDeleteGood that it’s constructed of metal too, so that no yahoo can set it ablaze.
ReplyDeleteThe tower looks nice! I like the pretty river views.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a wonderful week.
...walking that bridge would not be my thing.
ReplyDeleteLovely looking park – I’m sure I would climb the steps to see what I could see! The walking Bridge is almost invisible!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place for families to enjoy nature and adventure — the safer steps are a thoughtful touch!
