Fun data, although I'm curious what the units are. It surprises me that slides are so underrepresented compared to swings, but if each swing is being counted individually then it starts to make sense.

Also, what's the difference between a "spinner" and a "whirl"?

These are actually multi-swing setups. Most have 2 or 3 swings, but around 18% of them have 1, 4, or 5.

Whirls and spinners are both rotating toys. Whirls tend to be lower to the ground like a marry-go-round. Spinners are higher, and using them tends to involve greater use of the hands.

Tom wolf added electrical lines connected to the swing sets to harvest the energy generated by children playing and uses it to light up the point

I was conditioned to believe the parks were all full of blue slides

Recommend a Waterfall or Bar chart sorted by highest to lowest.

As a European I find it hard to believe that’s not at least 25% guns.

While there are definitely lots of gun owners in the urban parts of the states, the percentage is (at least seems to be) a great deal higher in more rural areas.

Man I thought slides would be higher!? Also what are Spinners, Whirls and stepping pods?

Spinners: Think rotating monkey bars. In practice, the designs can vary quite a bit.

Whirls: Things like marry-go-rounds.

Stepping pods: The idea is similar to that of a balance beam, however, their design better resembles lily pads without the water.

Could it also partly be because swings are commonly damaged and need replacing?

I wonder what the dinosaur qualifies as. I'm disappointed it wasn't called out explicitly.

Here I am thinking slides would be the highest.
