Across from Inman Park Middle School, JOHN HOWELL PARK features two playgrounds: one for tots and one for school-age kids. Though neither playground is particularly large, both age groups can find plenty to amuse themselves. Older kids can run across a wobbly bridge and crawl through tubes under much-coveted shade. The toddler set can run amok in a sandbox, experience bouncy rocking-horse-like rides, and find a fire engine suitable for climbing on, under and through. Best of all, high-tech rubberized flooring covers the entire playground, so if your kids fall you won’t feel as guilty.

I have vague memories of my mother, in that green dress she was so fond of, pushing me on the swing in Chastain Park. I was only 2 or 3, and the details remain blurry, but I remember other kids’ laughter, and I recall several slides and jungle gyms, and I can still smell the pungent chunks of bark that covered the ground. But most of all, I remember being happy.
