The playgrounds here are really cool. All the equipment is like a no-net trapeze act. I admit that I haven't visited many playgrounds elsewhere, but I know that I never saw a flying fox at a playground anywhere other than NZ. What's a flying fox? See below.
A flying fox is a swing attached to a cable that you slide down a hill on with your baby in your lap. At the end of the ride, the swing collides with a bumper - often you see kids fly off the swing at that point, esp if 2-4 kids have piled on the swing. A few weeks back our church was revitalizing a school in the neighborhood and part of that was redoing the playground. Sadly, there are now a growing number of restrictions on building new playgrounds which are designed to eliminate any potential for fun that a child might have.
