This playground segration sounds really mystical. We were 3 girls and 4 boys that were always playing together between from we were babies until we were about 10 in the 90's.

IDK, I definitely remember a period of time when the boys on the playground said, "We don't want to play with GIRLS!" and the girls on the playground were the same way, not wanting stupid boys in their games. I'm not saying that it's impossible for boys and girls to play together or that all children adhere to a gender segregation on the playground, but I think that it can happen... kind of like how older children develop social cliques in high school. I think that most small children go through a stage of "this is for GIRLS" and "that is for BOYS," even if the adults around them encourage them to think more fluidly. I had one friend who was really confused when her daughter said that she wasn't going to talk to another girl at daycare because the other girl "was running with the boys," and that "girls are supposed to play with girls." My friend immediately told her that boys and girls are allowed to play together, but for some kids that age, crossing the gender barrier just doesn't make sense. It's a complex and generally fascinating area of child psychology... It's just something that can happen between groups of small girls and small boys.

I think it can vary depending on the community and school, but boy and girl segregation definitely does happen. In my experience it was mostly in older elementary school (3rd grade and up, so about the South Park ages) and there definitely was a culture a lot like South park where the girls and boys only interacted here and there and the most interaction you'd really have is if someone decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
