Now at age 41 I still have fond memories of the adventures in outer space we had in that rocket; shooting down aliens and meteors and the occasional Darth Vader. And the strange planets we visited? Wow, amazing!

My 6 year old daughter always wants to play on that structure when we're at the park. I tell her stories of when her dad and uncle (my little brother) used to play for hours on and around that rocket.

I love to create memories for our daughter and am very glad that soon we'll be creating some that we'll have in common despite the years between them.

I hope to one day watch my grandchildren climb the latter and blast off into space!

Thanks to everyone who is making this icon of our community a new possibility.

I used to play on this when I was a kid, I'm glad someone is taking the time to fix it up a new generation.
