60 Days of Summer- Kaleidoscope Park: Bellefontaine, Ohio

Releasing Our Inner Child

Mary Rutan Park in Bellefontaine, Ohio is a wooden playground masterpiece. Located on 28 acres of wooded area, it hard to believe this park is in town. I have been here before with a friend who met Isaac and I for lunch when she worked in Bellefontaine. I remember him being so young but absolutely loving ever minute. There is a shelter right next to the playground so you could pack your lunch and watch the kids play while catching up with friends- a win-win! Now that both kids are older, it is a perfect spot to let them run freely and explore the wooden castles and great hiding places.  
It didn't take long for them to squeal with excitement when approaching the park. Between the rock wall and the tall peaked castles, both kiddos were running towards the play area with bursting anticipation. Typically I wear workout clothes to chase them around the thing if there aren't any other kids to knock over. The city pool is next door to the playground so if you really want to make a day out of it, bring along your swimsuit. Indian Lake isn't far away either and the beach there is free!
