The ground is very soft and spongy so it won't hurt when they fall.

The concrete edges will though.  We took my three year old here the day it opened.

It looks sort of cool but calling it a kids play structure is a stretch.

Anyone know how much it costs to buy and plant a 20+ year old live oak?

The site superintendent of 1550 On The Green told me they were going to move the oak tree in the parking lot they own behind it and use it at 1550 (they didn't but will have to move it at some point when construction starts on that) he said the cost was going to be $150,000. It's a much older tree though.

That will be something to watch. I hope it works.

Wow, $150,000 is crazy

I'm actually really surprised at the amount of No's for question#1. I think MSP is beautiful and it pales in comparison to what it looked like before.

That’s probably because this thread started (and presumably most poll votes were cast) before the park was redone.
