Is that a normal playground? I’ve seen pullup bars at a few, but I’ve only ever seen those walk-across-on-your-hands bars at fitness-oriented playground-type things.
Yeah, that looks to me like an outdoor fitness installation, not a playground. Those aren’t too hard to find, though, at least around where I live; most high schools or colleges of any size have one, and I’ve also seen a few near practice fields or parks popular with runners.
Back in the Seventies there was a fad for public fitness trails with a lot of the same equipment, which might do in a pinch. Those will be a lot more spread out, though, and a lot of them are in pretty bad shape four decades on.
Edit; misread this. Even regular playgrounds are good for workouts though, plenty don’t have pullup bars, but monkeybars can perform the same function. I use a playground for my own workouts.
Couldn’t say; I haven’t been there. (If you see videos more recent than that one, since H4K became sort-of-famous, he actually outfitted his playground with all sorts of interesting stuff that wasn’t originally there.)
But a pull up bar (or a swing set) and parallel bars (or any two parallel objects you can hold onto) are enough to do a variety of interesting exercises. (BTW, I assume you know that if you take the Iron Gym you already have and put it on the floor, you can actually use it to do triceps dips as well.)

Yeah, there is one of those trails (somewhat) near where I live! That was what I was thinking of when I saw the video.
