Not anymore because of a producer from Finland Lappset are making them for the age of 0–100 so three generations can play at the same playground. It has been a success in Sweden and media is reporting of senior starting to play again. In Sweden this is a big thing because old people are more ore less invisible. But this play concept has been successful in Spain and China before it came to Sweden. I do think this is the future, not al of us can ore need to work – but we need to get out, exercise and meet people.

Here is another producer Hags, here they made design playgrounds that more have a function of being an outdoor gym.

These playgrounds will also be more ore less a part of our offices. Alan Gregerman did write about the importance of playing at the working offices in his classical book Lessens from the Sandbox.
