Why these ages?

Infant swing and basket swing serve toddlers, but skatepark and half basketball court sit alongside the playground with no mention of fencing, so parents of 2-4yos need active supervision to keep them out of the skate zone. Climbing frames and see-saws span child ages; skate + basketball extend appeal for tweens.
