You throw a ball (larger, basketball-size?) into the top of the bucket, and it could come out in any one of the four (?) holes -- so all the players have to keep on their toes!
No USB cables, no touch-screen, no batteries. Fun the way it was meant to be.
Okay, it's still got plastic. whatever.

How do you know this, Michael? And why didn't you say anything when it was first posted? haha.
Have you played with this playground equipment before? I never saw something like that before - and the business nearby - the owners and employees there had never seen anything like it anywhere before.
My suspicion is that the kids weren't actually using it, or the grass around it wouldn't be so lush. I think if the grass around it was mashed up, or there was dirt around it from having been used, we might've thought of that.

Oh yeah, and for that matter... does it have a name? Like you know, "Swing set" or "sliding board" or "basketball hoop"? hehe.

Maybe it's a maypole?

FYI I think the bit of playground equipment is something you use very much like a 360 degree netball (basketball) net. You chuck a ball in at the top and the ball falls out of one of the 4 holes randomly providing riotous fun and lots of opportunity for stitches in A&E:) (That’ll be ER in the US). Mind you most of the most fun things kids find to do usually contain a risk of a hospital trip.

Well, I don't remember seeing the post before, so I just commented now. Looks like I opened the floodgates, too! _HOW_ do I know this? Er, it seems obvious from looking at it. That's how it works.

Well, it wasn't obvious to a lot of other people. heh.
I think one reason for that is that the holes aren't big enough for say a basketball... You'd definitely have to use a smaller ball.
