“Playgrounds are islands of free movement in a dangerous motorised environment”

Check the manufacturer's label on any modern playpark equipment you find in the UK - it's all German made.

Also, do not forget that playgrounds were built to prevent children playing in the streets, because motorists found those children an inconvenient hinderance.
Motorist: "Look! There's your playground over there, why aren't you using it?"
<Looks over to neglected, litter strewn, graffitied, isolated and unattractive playpark hidden in the corner of nowhere>
Sound familiar? Analogous to cycle infra?

@neddie Including Wicksteed and Sutcliffe? I forgot to look at the manufacturer of the stuff in the playpark in Victoria park in Peeble last week, which was a level or two better than most of the stuff in Edinburgh.

In the planning application for Victoria Park, Peebles, there are pictures of the equipment from Wicksteed, who say “all Wicksteed play products are UK manufactured at our Kettering headquarters”

“do eplanning links work for other users?”
I’ve never managed to share document links from any planning portal.
Seems deliberate but don’t know why.

Direct links to files do not work, unless you've very recently opened the main planning application (it's like you get a session window before it times out).So you need to send someone this link https://eplanning.scotborders.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=QFLUI3NTKPO00 - then either tell them which document to select, or to open the direct link afterwards. At least the first part of the direct link filename has a reference number to search for the application.
