    Based on feedback, kids seem to love them because it’s a dedicated play area right near their home to meet up with their friends. Even in winter. I’d have been all over that as a kid, even if I liked computer/TV/games.

      I should add a disclaimer though that I’m not against doing this, just I have my fears that they will just be empty areas with how people seem to be these days with screens and all.

      Regardless, it should still be done

        Most people entertain themselves at home specifically because they lack any sort of leisure space outside. In the US you often can’t even leave the house without a parent due to helicopter parenting and weird social views (i.e. neighbors calling the cops if they see unsupervised kids).
