This is why Denver can't have nice things!
Since it opened in August 2018, the state-of-the-art Washington Park playground, built for $1.6 million, has been packed with kids filling the swings and climbing over logs and various wooden creations.
While department staffers deal with vandalism at city facilities year-round, the Washington Park playground, and particularly its slides, has been a particular target. "It’s not like going to Home Depot and buying a slide or a playset," says Gilmore."The smaller slide, I believe, was a factory slide. But now that company doesn’t make that slide anymore. Now, we’re having to figure out how to fit that space without a lot of modifications."
Parks and Rec may be able to fix the new problems with the big slide for around $2,700 in-shop, Gilmore says. If so, the department will reopen the structure and just board up the entrance to the smaller slide until that replacement arrives. But if the big slide can't be repaired, its replacement might not come until October at the earliest.

Why Louvre's Mona Lisa Keeps a Smile: Paris' Cooling SystemPerhaps the reason why the Mona Lisa maintains her famously enigmatic smile is that she benefits from one of Paris’ best-kept secrets: An underground cooling system that’s been helping her cope with sweltering heat that has broken temperature records in Europe. The little-known network lies underneath Europe’s biggest “urban cold” system in the French capital. Water is pumped from one of three locations lying by the Seine. These units need electricity to function, and in this case, it’s 100% renewable energy from solar panels and wind turbines. Paris City Hall has signed an ambitious contract to triple the size of this network by 2042 to 252 kilometers (157 miles) and make it the largest in the world.
