Boy! Times have really changed since I was a child playing at the park. I remember when a tire swing was THE BIG DEAL. We had metal slides and monkey bars. And, remember, the ground underneath was asphalt, dirt, or packed gravel. I always feared I'd fall from those high-up monkey bars.
Today, Playgrounds Are Designed for Safety and Inclusion
Not only is the ground underneath much softer and safer, depending on the park, you may see engineered wood fiber, rubber surfacing, or synthetic turf or other compliant systems.
