Wooden playgrounds have been around for a long time and have been nostalgic for many people around the world. Most kids won’t remember one because there are barely any of them left. The reasons why we should bring them back is because they are easy to build, can easily be repaired or expanded, and people can't be badly injured on them.
To start off, they are very easy to build mainly because they need three materials. Those three materials are wood, nails, and plastic. Also, they are extremely easy to find because you can get them at every hardware store. They are ridiculously cheap. Metal playgrounds are NOT cheap. They are easy to find but can't have extra features. Metal playgrounds are the worst because they need extensive cleaning. That is why we need wooden playgrounds back.
Secondly, wooden playgrounds can easily be repaired and expanded. They can be prepped for storms unlike metal ones. Plus, it is not crazy expensive to remove, replace, and expand them. Also, they can easily be repaired in around a day, but metal playgrounds take about a week to repair. Metal playgrounds must be planted, or they will tip over because they are mostly hollow. Wooden playgrounds might be planted, but they are heavy for sure all on their own. Metal playgrounds are worse because they have no things you can add on to them. That is my second reason why wooden playgrounds should be brought back.
Finally, they are better because people cannot get severely injured on them. So basically, you can only get splinters from the wood. On metal playgrounds, you can get broken bones, fractures, sprains, dislocations, etc. From metal playgrounds, you can get cut with rust. Plus, wooden ones aren't a hazard. Metal can get cut off and can be very sharp, and that could hurt people. That is certainly much worse than the small slinter, scrape, or bruise that you might get from a wooden playground. This is why wooden playgrounds are better and need to be brought back.
To conclude, wooden playgrounds need to be brought back because they are easy to build, can easily be repaired and expanded, and you can’t get severely injured on them. The best place to be is to be in a wooden playground. If you are ever on a metal playground, be very cautious.
