Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

    Hey don’t get me wrong, even if it’s only 10 metres tall, that is huge! One of the local playgrounds here has a tower up to a slide (not unlike the one in the article, though less fancy), and that’s probably only 5 meters tall, but it still looks huge. If I was up at the top of the 12m tall one in the article, it would probably give me vertigo!

      I know safety standards were lax back then, but 6 stories would be like 20 meters wouldn’t it? Even back then they would think twice for a kids playground at that height.

        Playgrounds don’t need to have head space for adults, and don’t need to have space between floors for wires, pipes, etc. So I’d think a maximum of 2m high for a floor, and probably less.

          True. Still 12 or more meters is still pretty high for kids!

            Agreed! That’s massive!
