John Lawson Park playground thrills young and old alike

West Vancouver - Dear Editor: As grandparents of young grandchildren, the recent renovations to John Lawson Park have provided nothing but fabulous experiences for our family.A recent family birthday party only highlighted this again.It was the small yet significant details that we noticed, the flourishing of the reintroduced shore grasses, the curving stream and its whimsical wooden bridge. Our oldest granddaughter Maggie, 5, managed to cross a log straddling the creek, while her younger brother Ryan, 2, kicked a soccer ball trying to shoot a goal past Tom Young; Maggie and Ryan's other grandfather. For us it doesn't get any better than this.Mayor Michael Smith and everyone who had a hand in completing this outstanding renovation should be congratulated. Well done!Bill and Lois BrymerWest Vancouver
