Hoboken park liability?
Church Square Park apparatus looks like trouble
Adding on to the photo post from last week, what is the first thing you think about when you see the photo below taken at Church Square Park?
Is a massive rope gym a good or bad thing in Hoboken?
My feelings are mixed about it. Initially, I thought “Wow, they’ve come a long way with playground equipment since I was a kid. We’d have to go to Action Park for stuff like this! What a blast!”
Then upon further inspection – and the sheer height of this monstrous contraption (at least 15 feet or more), I began to wonder what kind of disastrous injuries might happen to kids (especially if dozens of them are hyper-actively going berserk simultaneously?)
At the very least, I suspect sprains and other minor injuries, like fingers getting caught, etc. And at the very worst – it’s possible some kid will take massive fall, and hurt his neck as they get caught up in the ropes like a rag-doll.
Imagine someone gets paralyzed using this?

The main slide in Church Square Park is an accident waiting to happen. It has no stairs to the top and is very difficult to traverse with open sides at the top. There is no doubt someone will get injured trying to climb this very tall and open structure. Plus, what an eye sore in such a comfy local park…
