The eye candy in Free Rhythm is just amazing. And they do cool things. Clearly humans would do fine living in trees.

I've swung on those swings many a time.

OMG! I'm having flashbacks to visiting my grandparents, playing on the giant stone dragon, and falling off those rings.

Neat! Where is the dragon in relation to the rings?
And how long have the rings been there?

The Dragon is right next to a pirate ship in a sandbox-y playground at the end of the pier. I just found a blog post writing about the dragon. I had no idea it was a secret.
The rings are further down the beach, away from the greater pier amusement park complex. I have no idea when the Rings were first put up, the the whole amusement park this got redone and remodled (I'm guessing) about 10 years ago (maybe a little more).

Oh, also, I have distinct memories of the dragon's head being much much bigger. It must have shrunk. ; )

Cool! Do you remember any kind of community forming there, with regulars, with newcomers, old hands?
I'm thinking of this one old guy who's, like, the mayor of the Reservoir running path in Central Park here in New York. Alberto something-or-another. He ran there for years and now that his knees aren't up to it, he hangs around and chats.
That kind of thing.

Oh yeah, this rings a bell. I forgot where it was. I'll swing by sometime.

Piratebowling, I don't think the Dragon's Head is a secret. The "secret" is that it can squirt water out of its (IIRC) nostrils.
