Emily Temple has collected images of "15 Amazing Playgrounds From All Over The World" in an effort to inspire the kid inside all of us.
Inspired by images of "some amazing playgrounds by Danish design firm Monstrumto" to "go hunting for even more of the world's greatest play spaces, from the whimsical to the hyper-modern, the colorful to the stark," Temple's collection includes a whimsical whale in Plikta park, Gothenburg, Sweden, an undulating sculptural playground in Schulberg, Germany, and a maritime-themed wonderland in Copenhagen.
