Playgrounds that will make children cry... for REAL!

Did you ever dream of killing a crocodile with cutlery?

This sculpture was actually pretty cool (displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art). But back to the miserable playground examples:





















Let's have an intermission, so that you could take a breather from all this ugliness.

These are some of the locations for the playgrounds above:
- Moscow & St.Petersburg, of course

- Minsk, Belarus
- Ivanteevka, Russia
- Odessa, Ukraine
- Prague, Czech Republic
- Stockholm, Sweden
- Akko, Israel
- even Basel, Switzerland

(example from Uzbekistan)



We have to stop here (even though they are dozens of similar examples). Too much of that sculptural madness can make you very, very sad:
