		<description><![CDATA[My perfect playground would start off on a cliff, and not just any cliff, a cliff with a zip-line, and to get to the playground, I would have to zip all the way across a 1000 foot deep valley for a duration of 3 1/2 minutes. Once I got across the valley, I would see a fancy chair. I would hop into the fancy chair and safety bars would fall on me, and before I knew what was going on, me and the chair would shoot off like a rocket over the rivers, valleys, and mountains. You are sitting in the chair enjoying the view, while freaking out a little bit because I have no idea what is happening. Then suddenly, I start to fall, down, down, down.... And I am scared out of your mind because I am about to hit the ground, when suddenly I repel off of the ground and do a stomach-churning loop. Now I know whats going on. I am on a roller coaster. Now, I go on for another minute or so doing loops, turns, corkscrews, and drops before the roller coaster comes to a sudden stop. This story was about a playground, right? And you are wondering why I&#039;m telling you about a zip-line and a crazy roller coaster. 

Well, as I un fasten myself and look around, I would see that I am in a square shaped room with 3x6 black rectangles covering the ceiling, walls, and floor of the room. The room can&#039;t be much bigger than a classroom. I hear an electronic voice saying &quot;What is your vision of a perfect playground? Don&#039;t tell me. Just close your eyes think it. My name is Steve.&quot; Well, I am scared because I am in a dark room with a weird voice talking to me, but I just keep calm and follow Steve&#039;s directions. I imagine a place with luscious, green grass, with  families on the grass with their children running around playing tag. I imagine parents of the kids on the bench, reading a book or talking to their friends.  I imagine toddlers on the swing set being pushed by their parents, all of them giggling. I imagine families sitting on the grass, eating picnics. Now, thats the stuff I would normally see on a playground, but here are the really cool stuff that I imagined. I imagine a game of outdoor laser tag, with no gigantic line to wait in to play. I imagine a baseball field filled with equipment to play and 17 other kids waiting for you to play ball with them. 8 kids on your team waiting for me, and 9 kids on the other team waiting eagerly to play a friendly game of baseball. I imagine a mechanical bull, put on the setting of &quot;Jackhammer&quot;, and kids daring each other to go ahead and try it. I see the zip-line and the roller coaster that I came to this strange place in, but the roller coaster is even better. At one point in the roller coaster, I stop, and I think that the ride is over, but I get a sudden push and off of the tracks and I go free falling. My chair lands on a giant trampoline, and the safety buckles become un-fastened, and I go shooting up into the air, and land safely on top of a mountain, with the little help of a parachute to make your fall safe. 

I snap back into reality when I hear Steve&#039;s voice, &quot;Enjoy. You may now open your eyes.&quot; I open my eyes, and I see that I am standing in the exact place that I imagined, down to the very last shard of grass. I think that this is a dream, so I pinch myself. It hurts, so I know that this is all real. After a while of looking at this haven in awe, I decide to go have fun here. And of course, I run straight to the totally awesome roller coaster. 

After having a long time of pure fun, I have some questions to ask, &quot;Steve, are you there?&quot;
&quot;Yes?&quot; Steve&#039;s voiced boomed from above.
&quot;Who are you?&quot;
&quot;I am Steve. Formally known as Mr. Jobs.&quot;
&quot;You&#039;re Steve Jobs?&quot; I asked, astonished.
&quot;Yes. This is my latest invention. I call it the iMagination. In no way is this fake, but I have discovered a way to turn human imagination into reality. You can come back here any time you would like.&quot;
&quot;Thank you so much, Mr. Jobs!&quot;
&quot;I&#039;m glad I could help.&quot;

And that is the story of imagination.

		<description><![CDATA[my perfect idea of a playground would be a hippie theme. there would be built in yoga mats, tie dye tunnels and slides, and there would be a groovy van that would be big enough to hold six people of all sizes. the van would move like a normal van and they will drive like a normal van but on tracks and kids could drive their own car and learn about the red, yellow, and green lights, and more! :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The perfect playground for me would be an obstacle course.  The obstacle course could be rearranged and different things added according to your imagination.  It would be in a forest with lots of tall trees around.  There would be three different courses. One would be a ziplining course where you have to go through a bunch of challenges like walking on logs when you&#039;re on a zipline.  The second course would be hard to complete and tiring.  You would have to climb up a ladder and then ride down a slide on to a pair of monkey bars then climb up another ladder and slide down and touch a button to end the timer.  The third course would would be a trampoline course. You would have to jump through targets and shoot baskets to complete the course.  Finally there would be a place just to hang out and have fun.  There would be trampolines, and computers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I were to build a playground it would have a rock climbing theme because I like to do rock climbing.  It’s good for you and it’s fun. There would be a huge rock wall that would be twenty feet by twenty feet. It would have large holds and small holds for all different levels. Underneath would be a trampoline so if you fell you would just bounce back up. At the top of the rock wall would be a big yellow slide to slide safely down. Across from the rock wall there would be a rickety old bridge connecting to an even bigger rock wall. When you climb it feels like you’re flying because you go up so high. Also the wall would have rows and rows of monkey bars that go up, down, and across.  The bars would strengthen your arms for rock climbing.  Climbers also do slacklining or tight rope walking for balance, so the playground would have a slackline.  Slacklining is something fun that all kids can do.  For safety the slackline would have a foam pit underneath it.  The playground would be colorful and bright so all kids would love it.  This would be a dream playground for me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My perfect playground would be totally sports themed. I could have a slide 100 feet in the air and have a machine throw a football at you as you slide down it and you have to try and catch it. I could have a basketball court with trampolines in front of the baskets to try and do slam dunks. I could have batting cages and a mini ice rink to practice slap shots against a goalie. This is my dream of a perfect playground and hopefully one day it will come true!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The perfect playground for me would be Finding Nemo themed. Imagine, you would go through a tunnel, and all around you there is sea life. Sometimes, you might be able to see a scuba diver feeding them! You would also have a scavenger hunt to find Nemo - go throughout the vast playground and try to find him. All around the playground are different structures of sea animals. Kids can climb on the structures and watch that clip of the movie. There would also be facts about that animal. You could be best friends with Bruce, Dory, Crush, Peach, Marlin, and once you find him - Nemo! I think this playground would be very popular, and I would love it!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My prefect playground would be a big sail boat . Think to would be cool to have it the sail boat because I love to sail. I would have a big slide going down the mast and when you end you would land on a bed. The on the other side of the mast there would be a fire pool. Then the swings would be under the deck and would be really big. On the top of the mast there would be a zip line going down to the front of the boat. Where the sail would be tere would be a rope lader. That would be my prefect playground.]]></description>
