How it works:
My family and I will visit each park, exploring and playing.
I will take photos of interesting parts of the park and the surrounding area, basically any area accessible to park goers.
I will blog about what we find with specific focus on my opinion of the following:
Safety - of the equipment and the surrounding area
Materials used - wood chips, foam floor, grass, concrete etc.
Location - including parking and accessibility
Friends - the people and pets we run into
And finally Caleb will rate the park on a fun scale of 1-3 and tell us his favorite part of the park (should be interesting)
Below is the list of parks we will be visiting during our challenge.

The Disclosure
Just in case I wanted to make sure everyone knows that the views expressed in this blog are opinion only and are in no way a professional evaluation of the parks in Bend. Each post is good for the specified day and time of my visit and does not mean that future dates and/or times of the day or night are exactly the same. Please DO NOT take my opinion for gospel!! If you decide to go to a park based on my opinion and you hate it, are hurt, offended, disagree with my opinion etc....you cannot sue me for sending you there.
This is not Travelocity and I do not guarantee anything.
Also, I am not responsible if you, your children, your pets, your extended family, your neighbor, your neighbors family, your Facebook friends second cousins neighbor, the guy you sneezed on in Costco yesterday, the check out lady at the convenience store in Butte MT that you talked to for 15 seconds last year, basically everyone you may have come in contact with since births safety or entertainment at any parks you may visit based on my blog.
Just to be clear, I am not responsible for the safety or good time of ANYONE or THING in this solar system or that may visit this solar system (gearing up for X-Files at our house) who visits a park based on reading, hearing about, psychically connecting to or thinking they may have one time had anything to do with this blog.
DON'T SUE ME! I have nothing anyway unless you are dying to own a used copy of the Frozen sound track :)
