Quoted from Mopar:I can't remember where, but I know there's at least one Rocket Slide still set up. It's
huge. It has two long slides running off of it. It was in an article on line, and I believe
it was put up in 1971. It said that that town cherished it. I looked up the municiple
phone number and talked with the person in charge of grounds (or maybe Mayor, can't
remember) and let them know that I thought it was great that they kept the Rocket
Slide and how well they kept it maintained. He said that they never plan on taking it
down.I'll see if I can run across that article..
Yea, if that Rocket Slide happens to still be up, I sure would like to see pics. Actually,
I wouldn't mind seeing pics of any vintage playground equipment that's still in use.
If you google in "Vintage Playground Equipment, it shows many older pics of equipment
in the parks and school yards. Some of the playground equipment from the early 1900s
is unbelievable. Some were very dangerous..
Edit: I actually think I emailed (not called) the town that has the Rocket Slide. No big deal,
I just like to be accurate..
If I make a road trip up for the big coin op party at your place can I go down to the pond and ride the paddle boats Fixing ball bowlers all night long and reshaping the land during the daylight. How do you find the time?
