A new location for a Magical Bridge Playground, a playground accessible to people of all abilities and ages, opened at El Carmelo Elementary School last week.
The first Magical Bridge Playground in Palo Alto debuted at Mitchell Park in 2015, making it one of the first of its kind in the country. The playground at El Carmelo, which is open for students during school hours and the public after 6 p.m., is now one of six other Magical Bridge playgrounds in the Bay Area, according to the foundation’s website.
“This school playground offers spinning, swinging, climbing, sensory panels, and a Barbara Butler original Hideaway Hut for those needing a quiet retreat from play,” the Magical Bridge website states.
The new playground was partly funded by Santa Clara County’s all-inclusive playground grant program and “serves as a pilot model for inclusive and accessible school play yards.”
The original Magical Bridge Playground in Mitchell Park underwent a series of renovations in 2022 for regular maintenance and to add a playground feature that helps people with low or no vision.

Reviews for "The Witch's Revenge: Unmasking the Cruel Witch of the Western Lands"
1. Samantha - 2 stars - I found "Cruel Witch of the Western Lands" to be incredibly dull and uninspiring. The storyline was predictable and lacked any depth or originality. The characters felt flat and one-dimensional, making it difficult to become emotionally invested in their journeys. Additionally, the pacing was extremely slow, dragging the plot along at a snail's pace. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to others.
2. James - 1 star - "Cruel Witch of the Western Lands" was a complete waste of my time. The writing style was convoluted and pretentious, making it difficult to follow and understand what was happening. The author introduced too many unnecessary subplots and characters that only added to the confusion. Additionally, the supposed "twists" in the story were predictable and lacked any shock value. I struggled to finish this book and would strongly advise others to avoid it.
3. Jessica - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Cruel Witch of the Western Lands", but it fell flat for me. The protagonist lacked depth and felt more like a caricature than a fully fleshed-out character. The world-building was also disappointing, with little effort put into creating a believable and immersive setting. The dialogue was clunky and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the story. Overall, this book failed to captivate my interest and left me feeling underwhelmed.
4. Matthew - 3 stars - While I didn't hate "Cruel Witch of the Western Lands", I can't say I enjoyed it either. The plot felt disjointed, with no clear direction or purpose. The pacing was inconsistent, making it hard to stay engaged with the story. Additionally, the descriptions were often excessive and slowed down the narrative flow. There were moments of potential, but they were overshadowed by the overall lackluster execution. I would recommend approaching this book with caution.
