[video: scene fades into a right to left pan of an outdoor playground in a city setting. Multiple playground structures fill the long play space. Scene fades to a line of children running up a belted pathway up to the top of a large blue slide. They run in a continuous line to the top and ride down the slide. Camera focuses on a girl as she sits at the top of the slide. She makes a superhero cry before riding down.]

Girl: Dah dah dah dahh!

[video: children’s feet walk across a balance beam. A group of children climb and play on a play structure. They walk across the bridge like structures arched belt way while climbing on its different rope ladders and climbers. Camera focuses on a girl’s legs as she walks up the belted walkway. Camera pulls back to show children playing all over the structure. A girl climbs up vertical ropes on the structure with rectangular plastic pieces for hand and foot holds. Three children climb and try to hang from their legs on an arched ladder. A girl holds onto an overhead bar as she speaks to the camera about the playground.]

Girl: I’m eight years old and my favorite thing to do on this thing is the monkey bars.

[video: a girl swings across the rungs of a curved monkey bars set. A boy climbs the arched support post of the monkey bars. The girl reaches the end of the monkey bars, she stands on the end foot stepper arching her back a delicately presenting her other hand. Three girls giggle together on a springboard. They giggle and laugh. Scene switches to a different play structure with climbers and a slide. A group of children climb up a crescent shaped climber made of ropes. Two girls right down a dual land slide together. Two groups of children play together on large circular suspended swing seats. Other children push and wiggle their friends on the seats. A boy gently wiggles three girls on the large blue suspended seat. Scene fades out and back into four children spinning together on a stand-up playground spinner. They giggle and scream as they spin faster. Scene fades out and back into a focused view of children’s feet balancing on a horizontal suspended rope just a few inches off the ground. A boy jumps down from the rope and leans to look into the camera lens. He says “Shoey!” and makes a goofy wide-eyed face. Scene fades out and back into a line of children taking turns and riding down a large blue slide. They giggle and scream as they ride down quicker and faster. Screen jumps to white. A black vertical line appears in the center of the screen. The Flagship Recreation logo slides out to the right of the line. Then the Landscape Structures logo slides out to the left of the line.
