At a playground, a child's imagination can transform a wooden beam into a pirate's plank.
Swings become rockets to the sky.
Slides are tunnels to the center of the earth. Playgrounds are places where children have their own little world to learn, explore and make-believe. One of the twisting tube slides at the Reiche School playground, which has six slides, proves a favorite of Dayzha Hawkins, 4. The two were playing circus and performed for a small audience of their fellow campers with Brunswick's summer recreation program. The game involves jumping from one structure to another without touching the ground.
