Meadowood Park was built by the city of New Brighton. It is <br />located in the center of a housing development which is in proximity <br />to Rice Creek Shopping Center. <br />While the surrounding houses were being developed it seems <br />that the central area was reserved .for the building of this park. The <br />location of Meadowood Park makes it highly accessible to the <br />residents in the local area. The park was also observed to be a safe <br />place for children to .play while their parents shopped at the near by <br />.shopping center. <br />The overall purpose of the play area is to promote psychosocial, <br />perceptual, cognitive and motor development across all ages. .This <br />recreational area allows for interaction between children which <br />promotes social skills. The equipment area is divided into an upper <br />and lower terrace. The upper terrace is designed to accommodate <br />toddlers-kindergarten, and the lower terrace is more appropriate for <br />older children. The various fields and courts allow for organized <br />competitive play among older children and adults. The play area <br />may also prevent unwanted temptations that children may have <br />during free time, by providing an attractive place to play. <br />Meadowood Park is not directly accessible. There are no <br />streets that boarder the park. The park is located west of Rice Creek <br />Shopping Center, which is on Silver Lake Road, and east of 29th <br />Avenue. Mississippi street lies directly north of the park and Rice <br />Creek Road lies directly south of the park. 27th Avenue and 28th <br />1 <br />
