According to what he said in his Imgur post, he did this for fun—it was not a paying project. A lot of planning and scrap hoarding (a decade worth of it, in fact) went into this project, which he knew he’d build one day.

“As a teenager, interacting at a local dinosaur park and doing some work there showed me kids love playing on these kinds of things. I knew back then that this was something I wanted to build for my kids. Mostly because I knew I would have loved it,” explained Cosman the inspiration behind the project.

Believe it or not, it’s not just the kids who love it. Apart from the myriad of people online wanting to become his kids and have a go at the dinosaur playground, many began nominating him for dad of the year and joking how the homeowner’s association didn’t have anything to say about it (long story short, he didn’t need a permit.) All in all, he raised the bar to cosmological levels for dads everywhere, especially in his neighborhood.
