If kids designed their own playground what would it look like? Well, some kids in Nebraska are asking that question. They know they want lots of slides. Also moneky bars, merry-go-rounds and bridges. The ideas were broken into categories: a fort or castle theme, hide and seek theme and day and night theme.

15 kids met at the Hastings Library to start making plans. The Lake Hastings Park is being donated to Hastings through a partnership between KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit dedicated to building playgrounds, and Kraft Foods and its support of Kool-Aid Days.

The themes will go to designers next and the kids can vote. The park will be built on the south side of Lake Hastings between the picnic pavilion and the boat dock. The park will be built by volunteers in just 6 hours on Aug. 6.

If you could design your own playground, what would it look like?
