“06880” readers skated around last week’s Photo Challenge.
John Maloney’s image showed an old-looking sign, headed “Playground Rules.” They included “Adult supervision required,” “No horseplay,” “Do not use when playground is wet,” and “No bicycles, roller skates or skateboards permitted.” (Click here to see.)
Because the sign looked timeworn, answers included the playgrounds behind Town Hall, and at Luciano Park.
Nope! Surprisingly, it hangs at the most popular playground in Westport: Compo Beach. Thousands of Westport parents, grandparents, nannies, au pairs and other caregivers are very familiar with the recently renovated spot.
But no one — except the very observant Andrew Colabella — knew that the sign is right there, in plain view, on the boardwalk near the swings and other playful paraphernalia.
So I guess not many people know the Compo Beach playground rules.
“Shoes are required.” “No pets allowed.”
And one that’s not on the list, but should be: “Have fun!”
Here is today’s Photo Challenge. If you know where in Westport you’d see this sad, lonely intersection, click “Comments” below.
