This is the price of the culture of litigation. Instead of playground that are cool we now have playground that are designed by risk analyists.
A few years ago, the Toronto School Board tore out almost all of their schools' playgrounds. They did so because of the risk to injury as deemed by some bean counter.
They have mostly been rebuilt with newer, safer designs. The ones that were replaced the soonest were the neighbourhoods where parents did some fund raising.
Ultimately you can complain all you want but when it comes down to it, we get the culture we deserve.
