Hey, I don’t know of anybody who has a kid that does not instantly think about playgrounds when it comes to the word swing. If I was single, I am sure I would have a very different drawing up. Due to the scale of my image, I had to make the playground pretty small, but I snuck it in there right in front of the church.

As far as playground go in Ireland, I find them to be excellent. They are often made out of wood, hand carved with different themes from Vikings, zoos, and ferries. The Dublin Zoo has playgrounds at every major exhibit, which I think is brilliant. The insurance companies keep nailing anything that has kids involved with, so cities and businesspeople are not willing to put up new playgrounds, which is sad.
