Do the people that are currently designing playground equipment have any idea how retarded most of it is? The modern movement that looks like Picasso drew up the plans may look cool, but it's actually difficult for kids to play on. Bigger kids may be able to scale the weird rope-with-balls thingy, or make use of the convex squiggle slide, but Jude sure can't. And the areas designed for toddlers? He gets bored with. I can't even figure out what a kid is suppose to do with most of those odd hanging things or random spinning poles. Most of these items don't actually do anything and they can't be used to do anything with.
Where are the real slides? The monkey bars that don't twist to a useless vertical position halfway through? The centers that look like tree houses and pirate-ships instead of something from the modernist movement? Is this an attempt to get our kids to use their imaginations? Because I had no problem using mine playing in fort like structure pretending I was part of Robin Hoods pose.
Tacoma Parks, stop buying that crap. It's stupid and useless.
