Okay, this space playground is AWESOME, and I WANT ONE. See the rest here.

And because it does seem amusingly reminiscent of one spaceship in particular, I can’t help myself:

KIRK: This… playground… reminds me of something. What… is it? Report.

UHURA: Captain, several children are hailing us.

SPOCK: Human children behave so illogically.

BONES: [watching children at play] DAMNIT Jim, somebody’s going to get hurt!

SCOTTY: Cap’n! Tha’ ship’s not MOVIN’, sir. It’s just SITTIN’ there, anchored to tha’ GROUND!

CHEKOV: Did you know, playgrounds were invented in Russia?

I found this fantastic photo on deviantART and had to share. I wish I’d had a park like this when I was growing up.
