I want proper playgrounds, just adult size.
I would happily burn calories off in them.

An outdoor gym doesn't give me enough reward.
I would rather poubd up the steps to a wide bumpy slide than use an outside step machine any day.

Or run round one of those things that lifts you up in the air, but is the right height for me not to badly graze my knees on the lower stretches (that bloody hurt!)

Myabe then, when I lost enough weight, I might be interested in the outside gym equipment.
Nah - it's surely aimed at parents in this climate.

really? Because most modern playground equipment -in US and UK- does fit adults. So what's stopping you?

correct. but the majority of adults become parents at some point and many get very, very bored while their kids play sometimes.... and don't have tim ein the rest of their busy lives to work out..... So it is a great idea.

I've been so tired, and so bored, when my kids were playing at the park when they were younger, that I've almost fallen asleep lying flat on one of the benches. It happened more than once. I'd be struggling to stay awake, because what kind of father falls asleep in a public park near a busy street when they are supposed to be watching their toddler?
