You hear the clang of the metal slide warming in the sun, the scrape of shoes on wood chips, laughter echoing off brick buildings. Kids climb the jungle gym, pump their legs on swings, and dare each other down the tallest structures. A ball rolls across bare ground—someone retrieves it, and the game begins again.
