Thomas the Tank Engine – A Story About a Truck and a Playground

Children can gain confidence through mastering physical skills and playing with friends; however, these factors are not always taken into consideration when designing playgrounds.

Julie Kenerson loves the Charlestown playground in Mayor Thomas Menino Park because of its accessible design, enabling both of her sons Lukas and Jake to spin carousels together and slide down slides side-by-side. However, Julie would like more ADA compliant playgrounds.

Early Life and Education

Thomas was busy shunting trucks when The Fat Controller told him to deliver some sand and timber to a builders merchant. At the merchant, however, Thomas discovered they had more than enough for what was required – Thomas suggested they use this surplus material to build a sand pit at Wellsworth playground instead; to their great delight the children thanked him profusely as it will make an excellent alternative beach experience!

Achievement and Honors

Thomas and his crew are busy shunting trucks when the Fat Controller instructs them to collect supplies for Wellsworth. Thomas’ trucks are filled with heavy sand and timber – more than needed according to their manager at the builder’s merchant – when Thomas discovers they have more materials than required, Thomas suggests using this excess to create a sandpit at the local playground for children to play on.
