I saw that, and it’s relatable, they live in Canada, not America, and in my city, it’s disappearing there’s only one wooden playground left in my city

Because the young children nowadays are screen addicts. Not as many are using playgrounds, and they might as well make them cheaper?

FR! What happened to splitting open your knee on pebbles when you fell from monkey bars or getting wet mulch stuck on your pants?? I don't notice playgrounds much anymore, but when I do, it just looks so boring!
