A couple of coats of paint and winter in this country could be a lot more bearable.

Very insightful.

Our city could do with more thoughts along these lines, as we are currently having a vote about increasing the city land base by more than DOUBLE! Top notch!

In terms of #1, I think the bright colours would be fine, except I really am not a fan of bright colours. Just a personal preference. I'd be interested in what Winterized playgrounds look like, that sounds like an awesome idea for the depths of a cold winter. Good suggestions.
