Hell yeah! I would’ve loved one of these as a kid. I was always the one climbing on the outside of the jungle gym getting yelled at by school supervisors.
If I fall, I’ll know I can’t pull off that maneuver (yet), and I won’t do it again (yet), and you won’t have to yell at me! So just let me fall!

Your comment reminded me of this concept: Adventure playgrounds
Yeah they started in the UK after WW2. They’re a really interesting concept, taking loose parts play to the extreme.
Also look up forest schools, kids going into the snowy forests and shit in Scandinavia and using knives etc.
