Parks. Parks, trails, reserves, and other public recreational areas. These are adult playgrounds paid for by taxes.

I don’t see monkey bars at the Grand Canyon. What’s even the point?

Monkeys aren't allowed to drink at the Grand Canyon, dummy.

I don't know why this made me giggle so much.

I want an open air waterslide all the way down Niagara Falls.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

They have barrel rides at Niagara Falls

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

There already is one. Quite steep though.

Yes.

I spent hours this weekend biking on some awesome bike trails. And camped at a lovely state park this summer. And walked sidewalks and trails for endless hours in my city.

How about libraries too? Playgrounds for the mind and spirit.

This gave me a sort of questionable idea, but it'd be sweet if at the start to some bike trails they had a little parks & rec office or something where folks that don't have bikes (whether for financial or basic space reasons) could rent them/lend them out to ride along the trails. Maybe some more well-funded areas already have something like this?

I know some places will rent out bikes to folks, but I dunno how affordable that tends to be.
