Kids' playgrounds are supposed to be a hub for a child's imagination, so the designs must yield to creativity. While Danish brands such as LEGO and MONSTRUM are superstars with innovative playset creations, some jungle gym designers just seem to miss the mark.
Below is a compilation of playground design fails that are far from friendly. Who knew that once wholesome characters like Frosty, the Snowman or Spiderman could become so inappropriate with just a few bad design placements. Yes, some of these backyard playgrounds are so disturbing you will wonder how the designer or parents missed it. Scroll down below to see photos of hilariously shady playground equipment that are definitely not age-appropriate, but are sure to give you a good laugh. Don't forget to upvote your favs!

But Why

This is Kyiv, Ukraine, and it is not a playground but a street art composition. Which us really cool to be around!:) It makes people smile :)

At Central Park in Songdo (S.Korea), there is a water fountain kinda thing with human size sculptures of people and a dog pee real water. The characters are made to look cartoony and funny. Here it's considered as childish humor. And then you have those Renaissance Rome water fountains pleasing the crowd with peeing baby angels in Europe. We're not that different after all. I find it amusing.

think this one is more of a weird art installation than a play area lol. I see some street art in the corner, might be a quirky town

It is street art. Like Viktor Zagreb's said above: "This is Kyiv, Ukraine, and it is not a playground but a street art composition. Which us really cool to be around!:) It makes people smile :)"

It’s not a playground. It’s some kind of art at the walking alley

This is not a playground. It’s an open air museum of modern art in downtown Kyiv, Ukraine.

While most of the other submissions are really horrid, this one seems original and funny to me. I would bet that kids like this.

It's educational really: - Mommy, Daddy, how are children made? - Come to the playground with me...

Awww - that's the Peter Maxx/yellow submarine slide in the Kiryat HaYovel neighborhood in Jerusalem (HaMfletset). It's been a much-loved park slide since the late 60's. My kids always begged to go to that park when they were kids and now their kids beg to go there too.
Carol Roeder 6 years ago
Well, that was different. You guys can sure can find it! I'm just glad my kids are grown and don't go to parks anymore. Those things would bever make it past my wise mouth husband!

ALL of these examples only make filthy minded adults moan and groan. The kids are totally clueless to it all. Get a life you pedantic, petty, filthy minded wankers. Just try not to pass on your pedantic intolerance to your kids. But as if that's going to happen ... *sigh* #pathetic

Good lord mate, go for a walk, drink some water, smoke some weed or just do something to chill out! Would you prefer kids stay inside and play video games all day? Playgrounds are great inventions and fun for kids so p**s off.
