[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they don't want kids running around uncontrolled and unsupervised around highways and entrance and exit ramps and big trucks. [/quote] +1 A playground right next to a parking lot that cars and big trucks are entering from the freeway would have to have a huge fence. And would take up parking spaces. It's not like there's a ton of open green space near most rest stops, just waiting to be repurposed. Also, aside from some people with little kids, no one really wants to drag out their road trip by hanging out at the rest stop longer than necessary (lots of parents of little kids ALSO want to keep their trips as short as possible). And there are plenty of people with little kids who are also germaphobes, and wouldn't let their kids play on a rest-stop playground. So the "market" is pretty small. [/quote]
