A difference in perspective

[sqbr]

Reading this overall pretty cool article: Things We Like:What Happens When Children Build Their Own Three-Story Playgrounds?, I come across the line "A travesty? Wheelchair and crutch bound children everywhere?" and thought "That would be awesome!". And I got a mental image of happy disabled children having somewhere to play.

But of course that's not what I meant, and afaict that playground would be terrible for children with mobility problems.

Which is not to say the playground idea is overall terrible, but still. It's obviously a perspective the writers of the piece didn't think of.

Right, not only 'could', but 'should'. I think that they work with a sort of loose supervision. They discourage/don't allow parents to be in the area, and the supervisors just look in on the kids every once in a while.
