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 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.
The sign on the slide says 5-12 though.
That doesnt make up for the lack of a playground scaled up 3x for adults
