We started implementing a program in the mid '90s to replace the old and outdated playground equipment, ... But it takes time and a lot of money.

We no longer have to worry about outdated equipment that may fail,

It involved playground equipment that wasn't attached to a building. If it involves a structure like a building, we can get to an arson charge.

The equipment takes a heck of a pounding.

It's all old. It's all outdated. It needs someone who's prepared to invest.

The main thing about how playground equipment is built anymore is they try to keep stuff lower to the ground so there's less of an impact if you fall.
