[Speaking] Talk about Playgrounds
Apartment complexes usaually have one or two playgrounds. The most common types of playground equipments are swings and seesaws. Slides, roundabouts, and jungle gyms are also common. Some playgrounds have monkey bars for kids to hang from.

The ground in some playgrounds is covered in sand. Children play house in the sand. Some playgrounds built more recently use soft rubber surfacing instead of sand. Kids run around playing games like tag or hide-and-seek at playgrounds. Sometimes, they lose thier balance and fall over. So it’s important for the ground to prevent injuries.

Most playgrounds are equipped with security cameras. Sometimes, each household can check the CCTV feed on monitors at home.
