What happened to the see-saw and the sand box?

I think lawyers should have to wear a warning sign like the one on firetrucks.

"Keep 200 Feet Back"

The Guggenheim fellowship that allowed Isamu Noguchi to travel the world and discover what play meant to other cultures should thoroughly be considered when designing these important playgrounds. Maybe his foundation would collaborate it implementing his breakthrough discoveries and honor his life's work in doing so.

So sad to listen to the 'play plight' of urban children. Perhaps we need more Fresh Air programs to get them into rural environments for real play.

The lawyers should create the playgrounds.
And they should be on hand for each and every legal interpretation of play.

Reminds me of one of those "END-OF-THE-WORLD" movies or 1984 or something.
Terrifying!
Go, Shakespeare!

These play areas will never be built, too much liability to the city,

Len, your being politically incorrect, not monkey bars. Corporation counsel will not use the term monkey bars.

Where can we see online photos of these new playgrounds?

Thanks.

Len, the city no longer calls them jungle gyms or monkey bars. It is considered inappropriate. They are now called exercise bars etc.

Pc gone amock.

A cartoon on the topic of modern playgrounds...http://dailyink.com/en-us/my_dailyink/archives.php

i wonder what you think of the notion of overly padded playgrounds and equipment,actually being dangerous for children,as they may provide a false sense of protection from injury,ie.falling and getting hurt;that does not exist in the world outside this specifically constructed enviornment.
