Well sure, when you look hard enough - you might just find what you are looking for... I found a site - KaBOOM which is a non-profit that helps save/build playgrounds - it also has a "Playspace Finder" which is an awesome theoretical idea that is (unfortunately) woefully inadequate for S.Fla. [Only has public schools and very few parks for my general 20mi. radius]. And, KaBOOM is currently trying to add 100,000 playspace listings in 100 days (ends at the end of June!) - and apparently they will raise $100,000 in the process.
So, I'm not entirely wrong - this site is still in desparate need of the S.Fla. hookup for playgrounds. I will do my part, I have joined KaBOOM, and I will add my playground listings... but, to borrow from U2 "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" in terms of local playground info. - so I will do it myself!

The quest for the best...public playground in my neck of the woods
Really, I can't believe no one has done this before (not that I can find easily at least). I have been talking it up with some of my friends for about a week & as of last week, I have officially started my quest. I clearly have perfect timing, it's the beginning of June - hot as H-E-double-hockey-sticks in FLA, the rainy/hurricane season and school is out = crowded playgrounds = NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.
Hence, I am embarking on a noble quest to find the best playgrounds in my area and rate them according to my own scale.
I am open to suggestions (Got a favorite playground? Tell me about it!) - right now I am focused on Broward County, FL and I could be tempted to go across the borders to Palm Beach/Dade - I will post my results and a pic of the playground right here for all to share.
