Pronunciation
Noun
jungle gym (plural jungle gyms)
- (US, Israel) A play structure designed for children to climb on, traditionally constructed as a frame of metal bars as introduced in 1920.
- 2010, Rebecca Manski, “Blueprint Negev”, in Middle East Report, number 256, page 3:
- Not much later, in 2008, attention shifted south again as the Israeli army invaded Gaza in response to the Qassam rockets launched into the Negev, and the JNF introduced Operation Security Blanket. Instead of building up new Blueprint Negev settlements, the JNF allocated millions for a rocket-proof indoor playground replete with a jungle gym, video game arcade, disco, merry-go-round, swing sets, therapy rooms, barbecue pit and, according to the JNF, "rooms that double as bomb shelters."
