I went to a PTA meeting last night and learned two key things. 1. In Ontario school playgrounds are funded by the parent council & local community. So if you've got a playground in a rich neighbourhood that's pretty easy. If it's a not so rich area it can take years and years. 2. School playgrounds are inspected on a cadence, and if they're deemed unsafe they're immediately closed. You could have a playground on Tuesday, it would be closed on Wednesday, and ripped out the next week.
