My daughter wants me to take her to the park/playground often and when i go sit there watching her playing so joyfully, i myself feel to go and join in the fun, like the swings, see-saws, slides, etc...she likes the maze like thing the most, so if there was a playground for adults, my daughter can join me and we can have fun together right

I think this is a brilliant idea! I don't have kids myself but I have often taken my two nephews to play houses and play grounds where they want me to run around with them and its just not suitable. I mean, i'm only 22 and fairly fit but most of the equipment, fairly enough, is desinged for small children! If there was a compromise where kids could play with their parents/aunties/uncles etc it would be fab!! You should put this idea into action, I would second it for sure! Good thinking!

To the playground where i take my kid, it is written out in every plaything, "not allowed for children under 13", but the thing is some 13 year old children look fatter than me, then i would think why cannot i go, i sincerely felt instead of the age, they must take the weight of the person into account

ha ha. i guess you can tog along and enjoy the little swing or what ever that interests you. as far as you are lean and are not going to damage the equipment for other kids to play, no one can stop you right!?

If you ever find one sharay, post the location and I'm there with bells on! I've ALWAYS wished for something like this! Makes a whole lot of sense too when you really think about it. Adults would be far more inclined to play if they COULD actually play the same way the kids can!

I like to go to a playground and play on the playground especially if I am with children, like my friend's little kids. I will swing with her on my lap. I love playing on the playground even though I am in my late twenties LOL.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I guess thats why they made dave and busters but i would rather a playground kind of thing as well. Us adults seem to get pushed out of things like those. There is this one huge castle thing close to where I live that I play on with my children, just because its sturdy enough. There are so many times when I want to play in the burger king gym with my children but i would never fit up there, Ha Ha

I've always thought that would be a good idea! When I was at my first school, if we had PE and the weather was bad, we used to get all the sports equipment out in the school hall and play 'shipwrecked'. This involved getting from one end of the hall to the other without touching the ground - using wall-bars, ropes etc. It was brilliant, but I think if you had something like that for adults the insurance costs would be so high these days.

ha ha! :) that would be a lot of fun i guess. but adults like you and me who have the childishness in them would enjoy it and i think that in a children's park itself, we can go about playing like crazy! I love the swings and see-saws :)

Wow, I thought I was the only one! I really loved playing in the playground when I was a kid. The outdoors is fun but I enjoyed the playground made of plastic and there was so much stuff to do like climb, charge against those barriers, pass through obstacles, and so on. I loved the fireman pole most but didn't really got to use it right back then. I would jump on it but can't slide down. If there is a playground for adults, I would definitely be interested. There's no shame in playing especially if it's an adult only playground. No one will judge others because everyone is just having plain simple fun and doing the same thing. The closest I could think about an adult playground is an obstacle course. Hahaha, really, I hope there's one. Great topic. Have a nice day!
