Unloved playground...





This is a section of a playground. It is made of wood and unpainted, except for the little bit of black on the top of some of the posts. It's out in the country, with lush green fields on 2 sides. It faces the sea and is stituated next to a lovely cafe. It's got a fantastic location, and it blends in with the environment.



I love it... but it just doesn't work. I've never saw it being used. I saw a family with 2 kids (probably around 5 years old) crossing the playground. The kids did not stop to climb or to swing. No one plays here. No one loves this almost monotonal place.



I think of playgrounds I see in the city. I see kids and Moms. What also comes to mind is colours. Often loud colours. Often distasteful combination of colours...
