Mall Playground
Oakview Mall, Omaha
December 02, 2004
Reason #47 of why I love Omaha. There is a playground in almost every local mall. They are enclosed. There is ample adult seating and the kids can burn off energy that would otherwise ensure a family trip to the mall security office. This one has a Starbucks five feet away and a semi-clean restroom. Sometimes it can be a war zone. Especially at peak mall hours. Kids of every race, color, social status, flying through the air, running, jumping, screaming, crying. Luckily, everything is padded, though I have seen blood on many occasions.
