My first elemeatry school closed in 1975 and we moved to new state-of the-art thing for 75-76.

The playground at my old elementary school somehow survived into the 200's before being sold and sub-divided into McMansion building lots. I took my daughters there when they were 5 and 3 respectively, and I honestly couldn't let them play on anything. It was true: That playground was built for Navy Seal training. Monkey bars three stories high and a sliding board that towered over the monkey bars.

I would have let them play on the merry-go-round but the wood decking was rotted through and the metal handles rusted and broken with sharp edges coated in tetanus no doubt.

It looked like this, only it looked like it had been through the Dresden fire bombing ...

Boy, I'm glad I was born when I was born. I loved that playground.
