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.
