There is no law or rule stopping a grown adult from using a playground.
Playgrounds in my neighborhood have signs saying something like "Adults must be accompanied by children under the age of 13" or whatever
I like that the way you wrote it, it makes it sound like the adults need supervision from the kids.
Well, that's lame.
The sign on the slide says 5-12 though.
The majority of playgrounds in Germany have rules restricting them to children (usually below 14 years of age). Violations can be punished with a fine.
How very German.
The equipment usually isn't sized for adults. I barely fit into the swing set at my local park, and I'm smaller than average. Even though I can technically use it, it's very uncomfortable.
But besides that, as a grown man I'm going to get some very weird looks from parents if I waltz up to the jungle gym and start climbing with their kids. There may not be a law against it, but it's certainly not socially acceptable.
That doesnt make up for the lack of a playground scaled up 3x for adults
