    Hanging out alone with out a child at a playground sure

    Here in Poland playgrounds are often extended with a public outdoor gym or something similar. That solves all problems, making them social centers for both child-free and parents.

    E.g.

      Same thing in Australia. I love getting a quick workout whilst the kids play. The kids love the gym equipment as well.

        Wait, I haven’t seen these outdoor gyms around in Sydney. Granted, I’m not paying close attention to playgrounds, in which cities have you seen them?

          Nearly every largish playground in western Sydney has some near by. I have also seen them in nearly every playground I have visited in Brisbane area.
