Playgrounds are supposed to be innocent and fun. They are supposed to be optimally designed for kids to have extreme amounts of fun while staying safe. Of course, there are everyday perils that come along with most play areas. Plastic materials that burn hot in the sun, wood chips that get everywhere, static electricity from rubbing your head against the slide, splinters from wooden structures... In fact, that last one reminds me of this awesome playground near my house growing up. It was at an ice cream stand, and there was a wooden castle and a wooden ship and they were awesome... except they were absolutely full of splinters and bees from all that sticky ice cream residue.
In short, there are already enough things that can go wrong on a playground. No one needs these areas for kids to be any more dangerous or inappropriate than they are already. And yet, here we are.
Playgrounds are never as fun as we want them to be.
But the ones in this list are so much more terrifying than you could ever imagine. For all the reasons.Inflatable slide

Um... What?
OK, aside from what it depicts being wholly inappropriate, what is its function? Is it a bench? Are you supposed to play on it? There seems to be no purpose for this thing.Demon duck

Clowns are already terrifying and evil. You don't have to make them 20 feet tall and put a slide coming out of them in exactly the wrong area.High drop
