A playground for big kids

On our way to the Country Music Muster, we stopped in Katanning to visit the playground. This has two sections: one is for children and one is for adults. The collage shows some of the adult equipment. There is a slide, a rocking giraffe and I’m not sure what the one on the right would be called. We didn’t go on the adult slides and swings which was probably a bit of a shame. We all need to let our inner child have free rein from time to time, don’t you think? Having said that, I didn't like the look of all those steps to get to the top of the slides.

I like those slides, I am often tempted to use them at the kids playground in front of our apartment. Having an adult one would be great.

@JudyEv I think so, it's very tall.

@JudyEv Hopefully it's wider as well as taller

As it's to scale, you'd feel quite vulnerable at the top I think.

As dizzy as I get climbing stairs, I wouldn't have climbed on any of those either. I wish I could, though.

@JudyEv You're lucky you don't get dizzy or have balance issues.

@DaddyEvil I have to be a bit careful with my balance and I need to stand up slowly.

I'm wishing now I'd had a go. Vince doesn't like heights but I can still climb.

I love that they thought of the adults too! That’s hilarious.

There is also a miniature railway nearby. It's open on Sundays so we might need to time our next trip better.

@wolfgirl569 It's highly likely we'll pass that way again one day.

It does, doesn't it? I wish now I'd been braver and had a go on it.

Yeah, the designers should have realized that steps can be a problem for adults! But still a cool playground.

I wish now I'd ridden on the rocking giraffe. Maybe we'll go back there one day.

Due to my fear of getting injured, I do not think I would be able to go to an adult slide.

From the ground, it does look very high.

If/when we get back that way, I will try out some of them. I don't know why I didn't this time.

All throughout my life even as a young adult I never lost the joy of swinging on swings.

I totally agree that there should be adult playgrounds. Over here they tend to install fun stuff for children and then boring exercise equipment for adults - that nobody ever uses except the odd teenager trying to make it go faster or whatever.

We have that exercise equipment here too and it is boring. I'm not sure I'd want an adult-size seesaw though. I was kept up high when I was little so seesaws aren't my favourite.

Never heard of one for adults. That's a neat playground.

It is high. Of course, you have to climb the steps before you even get there.
