A little taste of SF right in downtown Las Vegas!  The downtown project is really making downtown a destination.  I had heard great things about the playground and wanted to check it out and write about it.  So, lets get down to the nitty gritty.\n\nWe arrived around 4pm and my husband wasn't too thrilled about being downtown.  There is still a lot of uncertainty when you are there and we have yet to be downtown without an incident from a drunk or otherwise intoxicated stranger.  But he agreed to go.\n\nThey have valet but since there was parking on the street, we parked in a metered parking spot and were quickly entering the Container Park.\n\nWhat did we love:  Well, we loved the security - gates and visual security guards.  We loved the design - artistically pleasing to the eye.  We loved the playground and building area - encouraging creativity in our kids and we loved the hang out atmosphere that we so miss from living in the city.\n\nWith outdoor seating, lots of restaurants and bars and a stage - this park was alive.  People were socializing and generally having a great time.\n\nWe didn't spend a lot of time in the stores, but they all looked eclectic and interesting.  We did participate in a drum circle on our way out of the park, which was a first for all of us.\n\nWhy only 4 stars?  And, really this isn't any fault of the park.  But, it is still downtown and of course we were forced to strategically navigate ourselves to our vehicle because of  very drunk and disorderly men on the 1/2 block walk from the park to our car.  Still, I have faith that if we continue to support the downtown projects efforts, it will pay off.
