Four-year-old Shea Smith climbs down from a rope structure with his dad Greg watching when the Children's Playground reopened at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, Calif. on Saturday, July 14, 2007. The $3.8 million renovation project on the playground, that originally opened in 1887, took a year-and-a-half to complete.
