Children tend to like some element of risk. If you try to remove all risk from play equipment children will use it in weird ways that are sometimes far riskier than if you just give them something a bit scary.
My local park had a recent rebuild, and there's some stuff up really high (over 4 meters), but it's all enclosed. And there's a 3 meter high crow's nest, but it's surrounded by netting.
They've got really good at building mostly safe but still exciting equipment.
