When it comes to eateries and entertainment, Tokyo certainly takes some beating, but as far as public places for the capital’s kids are concerned, the city is somewhat substandard. A situation made worse by the authorities apparent aim of making what few areas there are, as unappealing as possible.
Meaning that even if the boisterous little buggers aren’t discouraged by gunshot wounded gorillas,
then evil-looking edifices,
should definitely deter them.

how are children expected to play on that?
Kids would have nightmares after an afternoon on that equipment!
Needless to say there were no kids there Neil!
There are some steps in the middle Shinobi, but that’s about it. So yeah, not much for the kids to play on.
Holy shit!
No wonder so many kids off their family members in such scary ways.
man, thats an evil looking park. I just had planet of the apes flash backs when i saw that gorilla with bullets through his face. looks like he’s crying. booo- hooo.
