@adrianhon Toronto, My home town, had a large city-block-sized "Adventure Playground."

Located opposite and across the small channel from Downtown Toronto's present day Island Airport.

All the childhood "politics" and self-governance and collective self-agency you describe throughout this thread existed.

I experienced and witnessed much of it.

In true Toronto-ish municipal culture,

The Adventure Playground was split into two:

One for kids aged ~12-16,

+ smaller one for younger kids ~7-15.
