An adult playground. No, not that kind.

When I go to the park, I still use the swings and the monkey bars. Some years ago, as an adult, I went to a waterpark which has zip lines over a pool where you can slide down and drop it.

Mostly though, this stuff is aimed at and sized for kids. I want a playground with adult-size versions of different playground items.

For example:

• swings that are mounted 30 feet above the ground and hence have a massive arc
• serious monkey bars
• giant rope swings in to water or foam pit
• zip lines from tree to tree
• giant teeter-totters (kids versions have been removed from parks to due lawsuits of fear of them)
• giant hamster ball as used at Flaming Lips concerts
• giant rope ladders
• trapeze
• obstacle course

Don’t forget to throw in various gymnastics-type equipment.

Have a blast.
