I my city in we had a little Robert Moses in the parks and rec department who designed amazing, unique and challenging playgrounds in every new neighbourhood that went up in the late 70s and early 80s during a time of rapid growth for the city. From 6-12 I lived in my local playground during the summers, it was a full time job, I wanted to be a stuntman when grew up. Those playgrounds have since all been replaced by the common kit playgrounds that are so crippled by draconian safety regulations that they aren't any fun at all for any developmentally normal kid over the age of 6. But weirdly, next to where my old playground used to be, they've put in a fancy new skatepark. Among other concrete forms it features an 11 foot high quarterpipe kids are encouraged to drop in on while standing on a little board with wheels under it. The ambulance pays a visit every other day during the summers. Thank heaven for universal health care. Nature finds a way, sometimes.
