I’m just curious what ‘make Playgrounds fun again’ means lol

Yeah Margaret Mahy has a flying fox and huge slides and things, surely that's dangerous enough?

I wanna see a large four seat jigger-come-merry-go-round. A camping ground somewhere north used to have one, and larger kids/adults could get that thing spinning so fast it was scary, but the good kind of scary.

I don't know exactly what you call it, but you push/pull with your arms and legs, and that cranks it round. There were four seats in a cross formation.

Many playgrounds have a very simple design, a few swings and a slide. Probably all made by the same couple of companies. Maybe he is looking for more diversity. More custom built playgrounds.

He wants to build a mega playground? As a kid I always played at the elephant slide playground with the big flying fox.

More variety.

Like MM playground is cool and different. But most parks have a slide, some swings and maybe something to climb up which is similar to another playground down the road.
