Look at how bleak this park is.
This is what Newsnight cuts to in a piece about something generically sad. This is the place where a rusty swing squeaks just before the monster appears in a horror film.
These parks are on every other street in Japan and children actually play in them. There's none of that special soft-landing playground asphalt here. If you fall, you are falling properly, and you are falling hard. The only sign on that noticeboard is a warning to beware of conmen, by the way, which simply adds to the atmosphere in my opinion.
I love these parks. They show you don't need grass or fancy equipment or comfort to have fun, you just need imagination. More horrible sketchy parks for England please.
