Covered playgrounds - why doesn't Seattle have them? / Where are they hiding?

Gasworks has a limited covered area, but that's it. In a city known for drizzle, WTF?

U Village has the only outdoor (private) one I can think of. REI has a nice little play area, but I'd rather not have consumer guilt when only using them for my playground needs. ;) Twirl Cafe, Woodland Park Zoo, and others like them charge teh money$. I'm wanting a covered PLAYGROUND, like in a park, anyway. Have I missed the hidden motherlode somewhere?

(I'm trying not to resort to using McD's "Playspaces").

    I think we actually need a municipal push for covered playgrounds. (Not that we have money, but, you know, in the long run.) All the playgrounds in Australia have shade sails, because that's the environmental requirement. We should have covered portions of playgrounds, because our kids still need to play the 8 months out of the year that it's raining. Maybe that's what should go in at Seattle Center.

    Funny how all the covered playgrounds are in places like McDonald's and the University Village. I wonder what that could be telling us?

    Toddler gyms at the various community centers are probably the closest thing to what you want. For older kids, browse around the various sports and other activities at the Parks & Rec site.
