There are 2 design options out for this park. Since this seems to be the only thread where we've discussed this at all, I'll stick them here:

Option A:

Option B:

Survey here: https://s.cotsurvey.chkmkt.com/?e=303598&h=3DF70A180556A47&l=en

My input: Too busy. Trying to do too many things in too small a space. Pick one program only: Playground, or DOLA, or Nature.

No Fitness Stations, less clutter, a bit less hardscape, seating w/backrests required.

I wouldn’t call that a balcony but rather a ledge and probably not working but could be on his cell phone. Maybe he is Velcro’d to the wall? Calling for help?

He'll have fall pro that's anchored to a fixed point. The bigger issue is any fallen workers must be rescued within 10 minutes of falling. Otherwise, the fall pro gear starts to injure your lower half. You could lose your legs (or plums if you didn't fit the gear snugly enough).
