It's not just a matter of creating facilities; it's encouraging parents to let them go out. The biggest problem in this country is parental concern about allowing children to go out and play. I think the big barrier is letting them go out, rather than the lack of facilities. There is a lot of concern about sexual abduction of children, which is, of course, a very rare activity for children, but people get very worried about it.
