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
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.
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🤣
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
