I remember when my kids were younger they always had difficulty climbing onto the cooler play structures. Somehow the first few steps of the entrance are the most difficult. So I just had to help them get on and they would be fine. At first this annoyed me a bit, but later I realized that this must be intentional; if the kid manages to get in/on the play structure in the first place, they'll probably be fine. If they fall when trying to get on it, they fall in the sand so also no problem. Only the kids with some physical ability are able to reach some height, the smallest have to stay on the ground

So when he was smaller, my kid couldn't get into the structures that were not meant for him, but year after year more stuff became accessible. There were also structures with multiple difficulty levels at once, and different entrance obstacles tuned to them. Pretty neat I must say.

Until I was in one of those indoor playground companies where you pay an entrance fee. I was climbing around with my three year old daughter when we ended up at the top of the structure. There was a big sign with lots of text that a three year old can't read. It said something about four meter vertical drop slide. There were no hard places where I had to help her up to get up to this point. Luckily I'm not a very trusting parent. This place was later shut down because of lots of safety issues. Their defence was that they are a Café, not a kids playground. Weird even for swedish standards.
