Gigantic teeter-totters (called 'wippen' in Germany) by DS Landscape Architects, centered in a landscape of see-sawing berms which also look fun for play.
Without see-saws, I fear that children will grow up without knowing how levers and fulcrums work! Seesaws are also one of the few playground devices that require cooperation for play to occur. My favorite game was not so much bouncing up and down as moving along the beam against someone of a different weight until we were perfectly balanced; mysterious midair still.
