| definition 2: |
a piece of play equipment in a park or school ground that consists of a round platform that turns around in a circle when pushed. It is mainly used by children. Some kids sit or stand on the platform while others run around the outside and push it to make it go around. Usually a kid who is pushing will hop on when the platform is going fast enough. The harder kids push, the faster the merry-go-round will turn around.
