Playground Equipment

Kristy asked:


My daughter would like a jungle gym type thing in our backyard. However we live in a state park on a lake and everything in our yard is natural, stone, driftwood and so forth and we would like to stick with the current theme. Once I attended Scout camp and they had this rope bridge that had three ropes, two to hold with your hands and one to walk across, it was challenging but fun and if I used the right rope I could make it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That seems like the only negative so far.

I am a Boy Scout and for my Eagle Project, I am repainting a school’s playground. It has been painted before and some of the bare metal is exposed. I would appreciate it if someone would tell me what materials I would need and how I would go repainting it.

Also, sources would be appreciated…

I work for a small town in Virginia. We have a small park here and would like to have new playground equipment but do not have the funds. Does anyone know if there is a federal or state grant, or something similar, that can provide funds to purchase this equipment?

Went to the park this afternoon with a friend and her children…. the children just LOVED playing on everything…. my friend and I wondered, just what would be OUR favorite equipment NOW?
Any thoughts? Please share.
To: crystalized - that was there too! I carried the children up and walked alongside as I pushed. Couldn’t just shove them, could I?

I am looking to start a playground in a little town in Tanzania where the kids have ABSOLUTELY no playground to go to. Does anybody know how I can get used playground equipment for cheap/ free? Even what is perceived as a write-off in the US is still very valuable in some parts of Africa

You know like the old fashioned metal swingsets and merry-go-rounds and teeter-totters? The kinds neighborhood parks use to have. I personally think that those were much more fun then the new stuff they have today. Dose anyone like the older stuff verses the newer stuff? Or is my family and myself the only ones who like them? Yeah I know that alot of states have taken them out due to insurance rates cause everyone is afraid of getting sued now days or because handicapped children cant go on those kind of stuff. Yeah i feel bad for them and they should have stuff to play with maybe just for them but dont take away the fun for other children who can play on the oldfashioned playgrond equipment. Does anyone know what im talking about and like the older playground equipment? Whats your opinion? Thanks.
