All of the ones I can think of in my local area do, and most of them are the newly remodeled "cafe style" ones. They all have a huge play place in them.

I remember there was one near my grandparent's old house that had a merry go round and other play equipment with the McDonalds characters on them. They looked awesome.

Funny enough, most of the McDonalds' I've seen that didn't have PlayPlaces got them within the past year or so.

One time I pooped in the ball pit. Never caught me though, and to this day I still eat there.

Got 'em here too. The joint that ditched all the playplaces around here was Burger King.
