Avenue are cul-de-sacs that give access to the park on the north and <br />south side. <br />The residential dwellings on 27th and 28th Avenue are mainly <br />duplexes. The homes on 29th Avenue are single-family dwellings. <br />On the southeast corner of the recreational area there is a large <br />apartment complex. To enter Meadowood Park one must pass <br />through the business area of Rice Creek Shopping center. (Diagram <br />A) <br />The play area contains seven pieces of equipment. On the <br />upper terrace there are five spring animals, a merry-go-round and a <br />miniature jungle gym. Two side-by-side slides connect the lower <br />and upper terrace. On the lower terrace there is a hexagonal swing <br />set with five regular swings and one bucket swing for young <br />children. There is also a wide wooden teeter-totter and a large <br />jungle-gym. (Diagram B) <br />The five spring animals on the upper terrace are painted with <br />bright vibrant colors. Two of the animals are blue, two are yellow <br />and one is green. the dimensions of each animal are approximately <br />two feet high ,two feet long and eight inches wide. The intended use <br />is probably to elicit "rhythmical stereotypies" of the torso, which are <br />non-purposeful rhythmic movements. <br />The merry-go-round is approximately six feet in diameter and <br />eight inches off the ground. This piece of equipment is also painted a <br />bright colorful yellow. The intended purpose of the merry-go-round <br />is most likely to aid in perceptual development and alter one's state <br />of equilibrium. <br />2 <br />
