18．For families on vacation，a playground provides a welcome break．It can also provide a glimpse into the local culture，from the setup of the park to the ways families interact．Here are the designs that live up to that challenge．
Fruit and Scent Playground，Stockholm
Is there a picky eater on a steady diet of chicken fingers and cheese？Perhaps a trip to Sweden's Fruit and Scent Playground will change his or her culinary（烹饪的）tune．This playground features a banana slide，an orange seesaw，pear huts，a watermelon jungle gym and a pair of cherry swings，all designed by public artist Johan Ferner Strom．Now，who can say you can't play with your food？

Located between central Tokyo and the city of Kawasaki，Nishi Rokugo combines recycled rubber tires（橡胶轮胎）with traditional playground equipment．In total，more than 3，000tires of different sizes are used to create tunnels，bridges，tall sculptures for climbing and，of course，tire swings．There's little shade，so you can visit here in the early morning or late afternoon for the most comfortable weather，and be sure to wear your play clothes．
Bicentennial Children's Park，Santiago，Chile
Bicentennial Children's playground in Metropolitan Park was built to celebrate 200years of Chilean independence and improve the lives of Santiago citizens．Dozens of slides are built into the slope，creating a design completely complementary（互为补充的）of the surrounding landscape．Fountains offer some relief from the sun，and ample seating gives parents a place to relax．
