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

it would be a good idea to let the children design their play areas. you'd probably need to guide them a bit though

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

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.

wow that's so cool, I would've loved that as a kid

[–] ChristerMLB@piefed.social 3 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, me too. I visited one in London a few years back, and it looked like a ton of fun

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?!
