One-Minute Writer - Playground

Today's One-Minute Writing Prompt: Playground

Most kids love to to play on playgrounds. If you could design a playground for adults, what would it look like?


For me, an adult playground would be very similar to a child's playground - only with oversized swings (with cushions on the seat for aching backs) and a sliding board that doesn't drop you too low to the ground. I would also like to see a life-size chess set or checker board and maybe a croquet course. Naturally, some comfortable tables to be able to sit and write or read while others are playing. I would have the playground situated under lots of trees instead of out in the blazing sunshine (due to skin cancer issues). There would also be classic rock music playing and a refreshment area for cold drinks and snacks. And a shallow, pool-size fountain for wading and splashing.
