Quando ero piccolo giocavo con giocattoli. Mi sono veramente diverto li giocare con mio cugino. Miei giocatolli erano robot. (hm.. I don’t actually get how to write that sentence)

2010年3月4日 · "Outdoor toys" gives 1,780,000 hits but it does include, as has been suggested, various other sporting and play items apart from swings, slides, etc. "Outdoor playsets" gives 18,400 hits but they do seem to be combination items (giant fort-like things).

As for Panj's mention of the rabbit's ears that reach the parts that other such toys do not reach, we shall leave it to the feverish imagination (and the expertise) of the Forum's contributors.

2013年12月17日 · at the park, at the playground. When I opened the first link, I definitely thought "playground." The slide, the toys to climb on, nothing but a playground.
