Roundabout (play)
A playground Roundabout (or Merry-go-round) is a flat disk about 3 metres in diameter that can be made to spin by pushing on its handles. The children who spin it can jump on, and experience a dizzying ride.
The playground roundabout is a simplified version of a fairground Carousel.
An innovator found by the BBC has connected the roundabout to a pump, so that water is raised while the children play!
