Great thread.

Born in '74, lived in a suburban city condominium (built in '73) for my first 27 years, that had a playground. Most older playgrounds in my area have disappeared or replaced with plastic. But my old building still has them! But the metal slide's ladder 'holes' were covered up with wood. Took these photos today.

Never saw one of those Rocket Ship slides before, curiusgeorge, thanks! Get one, Tim!

My kids and I found another old metal slide at a semi-local park (Centennial Park, Etobicoke, ON) last summer. They complained. It was hot!

Here's a local see-saw. Doesn't look that new.

Awesome thread. Awesome park. Wish you were closer, darnit!

Great stuff, Tim!

... but you're missing a zip line!

One of the most fun parts of my local Huron Park, bitd! Sadly, the zip and the excellent wooden jungle gym were all torn down years ago.
