Train ride at Danville

They had the train at the park, all to themselves – Nikhil and Siddarth. And they played the driver, guard and passenger by turns. How many of us in our childhood days had dreams of becoming a locomotive driver? Today’s children are more into race-cars, airplanes and spacecraft. But then Siddarth’s familiarity with trains is limited to BART, which isn’t half as romantic as the good old smoke-belching iron-horse. Which are to be found mainly in museums nowadays.

Kompan is derived from the Danish word kumpan, meaning companion. It is now known widely as a brand of playground equipment designed by a Danish multinational. The company, founded by a Danish sculptural artist over three decades back, initially supplied outdoor sculptures for children’s playgrounds. It soon adopted them into play equipment when it was discovered that children found playing on the landscaped sculptures lot more fun.
The company’s focus is on innovative play equipment, because, they say, many parents find it a real challenge to get their kids away from TV and computer and have them go out to play.
