Playgrounds in the UK

On Sunday it was chilly but sunny all morning so I took a short walk. I've been very impressed with the Essex neighborhood, and how these playgrounds seem to be seamlessly integrated into the local neighborhoods:




These three were all within a five minute walk of the residential neighborhood where I am. Somewhat interesting to me is that most of the time when I walk past, they are empty, even on a Sunday.

so much for 'if you build it, they will come'.

Sun? You saw the sun for more than 2 minutes' Sigh.

J: Yes, I have been amazed at the sunny mornings here. Or maybe my expectations are so low that any sun more than 2 minutes is to be deemed unglaublich.
