Kids' playgrounds are supposed to be a hub for a child's imagination, so the designs must yield to creativity. While Danish brands such as LEGO and MONSTRUM are superstars with innovative playset creations, some jungle gym designers just seem to miss the mark.

Below is a compilation of playground design fails that are far from friendly. Who knew that once wholesome characters like Frosty, the Snowman or Spiderman could become so inappropriate with just a few bad design placements. Yes, some of these backyard playgrounds are so disturbing you will wonder how the designer or parents missed it. Scroll down below to see photos of hilariously shady playground equipment that are definitely not age-appropriate, but are sure to give you a good laugh. Don't forget to upvote your favs!

    Depends how you look at it. It can be quite useful for explaining how did they came to existence.. OR NOT.

    At Central Park in Songdo (S.Korea), there is a water fountain kinda thing with human size sculptures of people and a dog pee real water. The characters are made to look cartoony and funny. Here it's considered as childish humor. And then you have those Renaissance Rome water fountains pleasing the crowd with peeing baby angels in Europe. We're not that different after all. I find it amusing.

    While most of the other submissions are really horrid, this one seems original and funny to me. I would bet that kids like this.

    You'd think designers would know by now that certain animals, cartoon characters and people do NOT make good playground rides/games/toys. Maybe it would be best to just put good quality equipment in a playground and give up on this kind of thing.
