The playground equipment I see these days is simply awesome. Yes, improved safety, but also markedly more imaginative and fun-looking (climbing walls, flying foxes, monkey bars and other 'hang-from' stuff that's incorporated into interesting structures you can move around, still lots of swings). I don't see many see-saws but they were always pretty lame. I also don't see any merry-go-rounds but I didn't like them as a child anyway. I think kids have it so much better in terms of playground equipment these days, at least where I live. I do wonder that I don't see it getting more use though.
