Which playground is better?

Which playground is better, the yellow one or the wooden one?

Each week we pose a question on Monday which we discuss on Thursday.  The questions don't usually have an obvious correct answer.  We are encouraged to think about and discuss with family and friends the question.  As well as having our own opinion or decision, we should have reasons to back up our answer.

Here's what we think...

YELLOW:
Has a flying fox that goes all the way to the end but the wooden one slows down. (Luka, Arnagone)
Has monkey bars close that I can use (Paige, Luka, Carlos, Naresh, Sebastian)
You can run around [without getting splinters if in bare feet] (Patai, Luka, Sean)
Is safe. You might fall off wooden playground (Sebastian, Danielle, Cole)
The tire swing on the wooden playground goes too high and makes me sick (Cole, Sebastian)
More activities on the yellow playground (Sean, Patai, Ben)
You can still play on it even with a sore arm (AJ)
I can do anything on it, but the wooden one is harder (Lennox)
Has a wooden plank next to it (Sebastian)

WOODEN:
It has a sandpit next to it too (Mia)
Has a tire swing you can push people on and go high (Mia,Maggie, Erin, Greer)
You can run fast (Erin)
Has a bigger slide so people won't get shove over it (Mia

BOTH HAVE GOOD THINGS (Ben, Eva, Chloe)
