I feel like I live somewhat close to a really risky park: https://www.eastidahonews.com/2018/06/new-pirate-island-play...

It is wonderful.

sigh I have to wonder just how long it'll last. I did see a section on the concrete rock structure that looks like ther was supposed to bw some sort of rope bridge. I guess that got removed.

I took a look at your link and I don’t understand why you feel it’s “really risky”. To me (a German), it seems like any other playground with quite common elements. Sure, the climbing web (if that’s what it’s called) is high, but this is a structure where kids will not even get that high if they are not skilled.

All the images and videos just looked so American to me. A guy pulling kids in wagons with his motor vehicle, where I’m just asking myself: Why? And of course, almost all the adults and a fair amount of the kids are overweight …

I’m not trying to bash America, but this did confirm quite some stereotypes of mine.
