IMO the people who design children's play areas are generally not that great at it. I say that as a preschool teacher.
I remember playgrounds like this when I was a kid. Was dope AF
Apparently these were contributing too much to Darwinism so they had to make them safer and more sterile.
it would be a good idea to let the children design their play areas. you'd probably need to guide them a bit though
For starters, we're gonna need at least three T-Rexes...
that is a fine idea, and also totally a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_playground
Yes and you forgot the best part. The community must come together to build it.
They aren't just hiring some random out of the Home Depot parking lot.

Sounds like a massive liability tbh. Playgrounds need to adhere to high safety standards, for very good reasons.
Hmm yes. Liability. One of the top 10 reasons the world has gone to shite.
Ah yes, we can all do with some more dead children.
wow that's so cool, I would've loved that as a kid
Yeah, me too. I visited one in London a few years back, and it looked like a ton of fun
If you'd asked me at the age of 9 I would have said, the entire playground should only be swings, everything else is unnecessary.
Younger children might not have appreciated the result very much.
but there were never enough swings, tbf
like, four good swings is not enough for a hundred children. not if there isn't a bunch of other stuff too. and even then... six is so many more
of course one child should not decide for all chileren :P
Are you implying they didn't run this idea of 3 concentric hoops, and a random ~~stake~~ pipe sticking vertical in front of kids first?!
