You don't see this stuff in the typical playground of today. But in Pahiatua the clock is in the wind-up period!Another great feature is that the park is in the center of town, between the north & south lanes- It's totally open and has nowhere to hide & get up to mischief!
The bottom image is a swing built like a battering ram. Just the thing to give the nervous ninnies and wet blankets apolexy!
Take the kiddies there before nanny's baleful eye turns this way...

OB,
Have you ever read the "Dilbert" comic strip? It's all about the office life, and is really popular here in the US.
Allow me also to reccommend you see the film "Office Space".
Bastable: You have to be willing now and then to take on something more controversial than playground equipment.
Whoops. I put my above comment in the wrong post. Should have been for the one on the 24th. Mea culpa.
Dilbert is very well known here- and I used to work for a large US corporate- so enough said!
'It's true-it's true!'
"Bastable: You have to be willing now and then to take on something more controversial than playground equipment."
No- this is were it starts. A bunch of meddling busibodies dictating which toys are 'appropriate'

Exactly!
We all need to develop a reflexive "mind your own fucking business" response to these nannies.
As an example, I've searched without success for any comment from you about the man apprehended at the Aberley House Hostel in Ayr, Scotland, having sex with his bicycle. The story is on Telegraph.com. This to me is a sad comment on the times.
To make that story truely noteworthy, the bicycle would have to be recieving councelling from victim support.
And was it an ethnic bicycle, Banjo?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Maybe the town bike?
