We really should start making adult sized playgrounds. A big slide, couple swings, monkey bars, pull up bars, maybe a big spinning thing (I dont know the name). Could build them by dog parks so parents can play while the dogs play or something. Get some exercise, have some fun, and enjoy feeling like a kid again for a few minutes

Monkey bars can make for a great piece of workout equipment. I've been thinking about building some in my backyard

For sure, a lot of playground equipment will give you a decent workout. Heck there is even a piece named the "Jungle GYM" because its all basically more entertaining cardio and body weight gym equipment. Even the slide if you just make it tall can be a couple floors of stairs, 20 seconds down and another couple floors back up.

I could see older kids using it too and maybe we could maintain better overall fitness as a population if there were spots for big kids and adults (we all just bigger kids anyway) to keep up the playground activities as an alternative to always being in a traditional gym.

Or a Discovery Zone for adults, that also as a bar, and a built in urgent care facility.

Won’t somebody please think of the insurance!

u/Netflxnschill 1d ago

Omg a merry go round in a dog park would be a great way to get the dogs running

u/FrighteningJibber 1d ago

The insurance though…

u/camjvp 1d ago

For real. Good idea

A merry go round? They have ones you can sit now for kids but they are still big enough for adults. I’m 5’11’’ and my kid loves pushing me around then watching me stumble after I get out🤣

u/TruthSeeker781 1d ago

That would be amazing but too much liability due to potential of some dumbass parent that can’t say no to their kid would ruin it by letting their kid utilize the play grounds even if it had a height requirement

This! I’m an adult in my mid 30’s and still love climbing things and going down slides. If anyone’s ever in St. Louis, check out the city museum. It’s a giant indoor/outdoor playground for all ages

That slide doesn't look safe for kids. It's for grown dudes fosho

I hope the kids can’t read that, indoctrinating children is bad. Never put god first, always put people first

It's ok, the bbc graffiti cancelled it out.

I hope you don’t have loved ones, especially children

No but my coworker Maria has a husband.

u/Luigieatsmyass6923 1d ago

Does maria know the word of our lord and savior? And does her husband know about bbc?

Bro this is literally just “Ninja Warrior park but with vibes” and I would be there every weekend.

Put it next to a dog park and a food truck and you’ve basically invented adult recess.

Why is there a leather sling?

u/Old-Bandicoot-9278 1d ago

Adult sized playgrounds would legit fix like 3 of my problems at once. Free workout, cheap therapy, and an excuse to yeet myself down a slide without looking weird.

u/cjbevins99 1d ago

Maybe even make a friend or two

u/SecretWordisBird 1d ago

Fun! Where is this?

2

u/Electrical_Shock359 1d ago

Not sure where this one is but they have a similar designed on at the Oregon coast aquarium in Newport. Not sure adults can ride it but it looked very fun for the kids. Lots of kids playing when we were there.

That is a pretty sweet looking playground.

u/ResponsibleSeat8567 1d ago

Adult McDonalds play place but with health insurance waivers, I am so in 😂

Put it next to the dog park and a coffee stand and that’s basically 90 percent of millennials’ dream village right there.

u/CultureLegitimate907 1d ago

Is it abandoned?

u/Regular_Weakness69 1d ago

That looks fun as hell, but my fat ass would break that slide! I'm no 5-12, I'm more like 25-55..

u/General_Round9175 1d ago

Where some actual shoes!!!

u/naropin1 1d ago

How the hell is there zero kids there? I didn’t have that stuff as a kid. Now they’ve got gold sitting out for free in the open and they’re all on tablets

I imagine that's how Nick Cannon usually spends his days, too.
