Why is there a poll about trees in a topic about Playgrounds?
OT: I personally preferred wooden playgrounds rather than the cheap plastic bull they make now. Seriously, if some little punk can't take care of themself, why do they put them in a playground?
My family and I have a special technique on swings -- You get it swinging slightly, about 80 degrees each way, and then you roll backwards off the slide and do a tight backflip and land on your feet...then duck, cause the swing is coming back!
I like Teak wood, and why don't you have Cedar, Mahogany, Beech, Chestnut, Ebony or Greenheart? Those are awesome trees!
