Speaking Spanish at the Park
Parks seem to be universal. Wherever you go, whatever city you visit, there will probably be some sort of park within a reasonable distance. With that in mind, you better learn some Spanish park vocabulary.

seesaw | subibaja
swings | columpios
slide | resbaladilla/chorrera
trash can | basurero/zafacón

Muchás Graciás, amígo! this looks very much like what I need as a disabled veteran with bo income. 20% of my neighborhood is Latino and I need to speak better with them… everyone of them.

Thank you for your recommendation. To be true one of the best ways to pratice Spanish is to repeat ordinary words.
I travelled to San Sebastian, see http://www.spanishintour.com/info/coastal-locations/san-sebastian.html , where apart from parks you can sunbath on the beach!
What a great list of important park vocabulary! Plazas and parks are so important in Hispanic communities, and such a great place to make friends.
