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!

Depends how you look at it. It can be quite useful for explaining how did they came to existence.. OR NOT.

Well, I guess they just used a basemodel for a superman-type hero (knickers-on-the-outside-style) and repainted it as spiderman...

You'd think designers would know by now that certain animals, cartoon characters and people do NOT make good playground rides/games/toys. Maybe it would be best to just put good quality equipment in a playground and give up on this kind of thing.

I don't see that there's anything wrong with having Donald Duck or any other certain animal or cartoon (well, except that bear). Just... maybe not set it up so that his face is in the kid's privates?

The internet loves Donald Duck, the kid friendly cartoon! Update: we regret to inform you Donald Duck is a pedophile.

Winnie-the-Pooh doesn't either - what is up with that?? 😮 EDIT - Replied to the wrong post (puts glasses on...) - meant to be in response to glowworm2 - 'well, what did you expect from a duck that doesn't wear any pants?' I'm explaining rather than deleting as sometimes a deleted post really makes me wonder what it said'.

I remember freaking out to that one when I was little, (I’m 60). You’d think they’d learn by now.

Maybe they should just stick to the cars with character next to you for these type of rides.

Why have Donald staring at his riders crotches...whoever designed this should have had Donald facing other way at least because this is a bit disturbing.

Maybe the designer's computer should be checked to see what other images he might have on it.

Given DisneyCorp's notorious reputation for protecting their brand one would think that at some point one of the Mouse's minions must have okayed this monstrosity.
