For months, the park at the corner of Grenfell Street and Pultney Street has been fenced off while the pixies did their magic to the grounds inside (seriously, they were pixies... there were no workmen to be seen anywhere). There were grand plans, landscaping, a new playground was announced (on a busy corner where there is heaps of traffic, and yet no one thought of incorporating a fence... but I digress). The new playground has now been unveiled, as you can see from these pictures:
At least there actually is a kid playing on these... I have no idea what to call them. Seriously, who designed these? They're not exactly kid friendly... and they're boring as well. What happened to bright colours? Everyone loves bright colours.
Oh well. Adelaide is mysterious and weird. We'll just leave it at that.

You just gave me a great idea for school! The kids could brainstorm ideas for their ideal playground, incorporating the dreams of kids, but also safety, access, etc. They could even make them afterwards. The possibilties are endless! We could critique other play grounds based on their design briefs, and see how others measure up - including this, er, interesting one.
They have mp3 players, kids, they do not need colour. That is SOOOOO '80's!!!
