Many conventional playgrounds are designed without considering the diverse needs of children. Male speakers in the documentary highlight how these spaces are often "bad for play," emphasizing that many equipment pieces are not accessible or enjoyable for all children. Cody, a dedicated playground expert, recounts the challenges of visiting typical playgrounds, noting that he rarely witnesses kids actively engaging with the equipment as intended. He describes certain features as outdated or unsuitable, such as a climbing setup that requires a child in a wheelchair to transfer from their wheelchair onto an unsuitable handrail before attempting to ascend steps—a process he’s personally never seen happen in his ten years of experience.
