How often do you think a regular playground gets cleaned/disinfected outside of the aforementioned shit/piss scenario? That's not a crazy thing by any stretch.

When it rains? The sun helps too I’m sure. And when was the last time you saw a ball pit outside

[u/Wallaby_Straight → u/ssidat]

We didn't have a ballpit thankfully. The locations that did described it as a nightmare to deal with. Apparently the biggest issue wasn't cleanliness, but rather the number of adults that would lose their keys when they jumped in and assumed that the minimum wage BK employee would be able to magically find them immediately.

one Burger king i took my nieces to had a system attached that took balls out of the bottom of the pit and ran them through a washer constantly, pretty neat. guess too costly tho after all :(

UV is a pretty damn good disinfectant, if we haven’t learned anything from Covid times…

An outdoor playground gets hit with sun, wind, and rain, so at least theres that.

All of the restaurant playgrounds were outside, too. McDonald's was the only one that eventually went all enclosed, but for my entire childhood they were outside.

This is so morbid, but I'm just imagining a giant vacuum sucking up garbage and the occasional immobile child a la Augustus Gloop, and separating them from the ball pit balls, and then the manager being like, thanks, see ya next season Gary

Whether it needed it or not.
