It is said to be similar to structure at Ross Memorial Park in Peabody, below.
The playground is being built by Boundless Playgrounds. A "national nonprofit dedicated to helping communities create extraordinary barrier-free playgrounds where children, with and without disabilities, can develop essential skills for life as they learn together through play." The playground is hoped to be installed by summer, 2009.
The playground is currently raising funds and tax-deductible donations can be sent to:

Hi Ejyo!
Went to the Ross playground today and it was pretty cool except for a couple of things. The yellow and red toddler swings had no standing room to push from the back. Right where the average adult would stand to push from behind, there's a 5 inch drop off between the rubber matting and the woodchips! Then, when my daughter was getting out, the yellow part swung down and whacked her right in the noggin. (luckily, she's as hard headed as I am)
The playstructure was really cool, but if your kid is too little to really play on their own, it's hard to keep up with them since there's a few places where they can duck under something too low for an adult and get out of reach pretty fast.
Of course, my kid loved that because it made it harder to catch her when it was time to go home!
Thanks Jenn!
I'll have to take a look at that and contact the city about correcting the problem. Bad design.
Yes, little sneaking kids make this playground a fun thing for them but a game of chase for you.
Don't go to Eagle Nest in Essex, or Action Cove in Newbury. Not only will they be sneaking, you will loose them in the structure. IT's AWESOME!!!
