Bureaucrats Bulldoze Beloved Playground for Special Needs Kids
13th November 2014
Last month, the Seattle Parks Department ordered the destruction of a play area designed for special needs kids, claiming its four-foot rope ladder, tire swing, and “nest” made of rope and bike tires were “extreme dangers” and “hazardous conditions.” That’s an odd verdict: In 10 years of existence, no children were ever significantly injured on the play area equipment, according to Liz Bullard, who helped design the space.
That’s they way they do things on the Left Coast. Reality must conform to their preconceived notions, no matter who suffers.
