Hell, I'm an adult and I suffer a severe deficit of play.


I was gonna say that kids have it easy - adults are the ones that are seriously suffering from a deficit of play.


Join a kickball league (like through WAKA). You get all the fun & camaraderie of team sports, but no one is too serious about it, and very little skill is required. If you can hold a beer while kicking a ball then you're good.


Hackerspace = adult playground.


a place where you get no exercise, are surrounded by testosterone, and get no Vitamin D doesn't sound like much of a playground :(


The closest one to me, which is still way too far away to actually join and use, is "famous" for inventing the idea of putting giant electric motors in kids car toys and then driving them around ridiculously fast until they break or hurt themselves. Bunch of people hanging out socially and mostly screwing around accomplishing nothing but having fun, sounds like "play". I suppose it depends a lot on which hacker space you hang out at, there probably are boring ones.


Yeah, no kidding. My idea of an adult playground:

I consider my farm to be kind of like a playground. I even get to play with the large equipment in a gigantic sandbox. Every kid's dream.


Know one in the Redwood City area? I'm here for another couple of weeks.
