 The 14-foot slide he designed probably won't make it into the final design plans of the $40,000 sophisticated playground coming this fall to Princeton Elementary School, but Tyler Stringer, 9, thinks maybe the tree house and swinging ropes will.
"The ropes, you just swing from one to another," the fourth-grader from Fountain Heights said as he showed a visitor one of his ideas for the KaBoom! playground to be built at his school Oct. 15.
Last week, Tyler and about 30 other Princeton students drew pictures of the elements they want in the playground, which is being donated by Home Depot through country music group Rascal Flatts.
There were pictures of traditional playground equipment, such as swings, shorter slides and climbing ropes, and the unusual, such as Tyler's sky-high slide and Nia Sullivan's roller coaster. [More]
