Playground

On top of two protruding wings are areas where the children could receive fresh air. The iron fencing made sure no one fell over the sides.

This picture reminds me of Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY, where I lived and hung out.

does the symbol all over every fence have any meaning?

It's just decoration, I guess. It doesn't match any symbol I'm used to.

Ah! There's a picture of my father's grandmother standing right there. She went to this place in the thirties. Odd. :o

It wasn't so much a play ground as an area where TB kids could get fresh air while remaining under watchful eye of care takers. Much like the rooms on the roof of the child's complex. Fresh air was part of the treatment for TB back in the day. As for the decor, the symbols on the fencing are NOT universal throughout the hospital, so I don't believe there is any significant meaning.
