It sounds like you've developed a very fun cat-and-mouse game at the playground! My son is a little reckless too, and I had similar issues at the park, though we only have one playset which gets pretty high. Whenever he would get to something I thought was too dangerous, I would say, "that's for 5 year olds!", then I would walk over to something else & he'd follow. It got to the point, that he'd walk up to the dangerous part, jabber something, then go to where I'd want him. It can be scary! One time we helped him up the ladder & before we could get to one of the openings, he did fall off -- complete with midair flip and everything. They are required to put so much mulch under those playgrounds, that he was fine! Maybe practice "safe choices" at home, and just be confident she'll learn to incorporate that into the every day. Try to make the playgound thing less of a game -- maybe walk calmly rather than run, or only play with what you want her to play with. When you aren't chasing her, it won't be as fun. And I guess, if she does fall, feel a little good in knowing there is lots of mulch to protect her! Since my son took his little tumble, he has not played by those openings any more!
