The Area

On this corner side the playground has a wooden fence with a big sign saying playground attached to the chain link fence atop. In front, on the pavement, is a man painting a mural onto the fence with two young children watching on. Behind in the playground you can see a big higgledy piggledy wooden structure with a boy climbing up one side. To the left on the street and further behind are residential houses.
