Emma and Liam walked to the new park. The sun was warm and bright.

"What can we do here?" asked Liam. He looked around the big playground.

Emma pointed to the red swings. "We can swing high into the sky!" she said.

They ran to the swings. Up and down they went.

Next, Liam saw a tall blue slide. "Look!" he called out. "We can slide down fast!"

Emma climbed up the ladder. She zoomed down with a big smile.

Then, they found a big sandbox. "What can we do there?" Liam asked.

"We can build a giant sand castle!" Emma said. They dug with bright yellow shovels.

They made four tall towers out of sand.

At last, it was time to go home. Emma and Liam held hands.

"The park is so much fun," said Liam. "There are so many things we can do!"
