What a rad addition to downtown! Every time I go, I find something else I love about it, and this was the perfect thing to do. \nI remember sitting at a pop up dinner in Tony Hsieh's apartment about 2 years ago. The guys across from me talking about their current project and how they are tearing down a old motel and building apartments and retail centers out of containers. They said, \"you must think we're crazy right?' My boyfriend and I both responded with \"NO WAY, WE THINK YOU ARE SMART, AND LONG OVERDUE!\"\nFinally, I can bring my child downtown without being scared she will be offered drugs!! And I am serious. Also, I can leave her at home after hours, come here, and still enjoy myself. \nAt this point Container Park does close, but not til late on the weekends. I was there at around 6pm on a Sunday night and the number of children equaled adults which is cool. There should be the option for adult and kid entertainment. \nLive reggae music played in the background. It was not to loud yet you could hear it throughout the park. There is a little something for everyone. From cupcakes, to jerky, to art, a barber shop, and of course BBQ and TACOS!! (Which I will be trying on my next trip because pork and beans DID NOT make the cut!)\nIn the middle there are 2 separate play areas, one more appropriate for younger kids and then of course the 50 foot tree house slide that is good from youth on up til you can't make it up those stairs. \nThis really was a great idea, and I hope the decide to go up a couple stories or at least continue to add on across the street.
