The playground is something many of us consider intertwined with childhood playtime around many parts of the world. The idea of playgrounds developed in the mid-19th century, as people realised increasingly urban areas needed to create space for children to play rather than have them play on streets where it was dangerous. The movement was slow to pickup, however, as few councils and cities provided funds. Today, the playground is a established part of many urban areas around the world.
