I love old playground equipment! In my free & ignorant childhood, I mistakenly took these fantastic structures for granted! I mean, they look like stuff!
Like dinosaurs ..
..and tugboats!
Did I mention dinosaurs?!
I never thought there would come a day when I’d have to trade these wrought & welded behemoths in for cold, slippery, safe plastic structures. I miss the feel of thick, globbed-on paint & warm iron bars on my bare palms & knees!
I miss old McDonald’s equipment the most!
Those crap plastic climbers, you can’t get to the top without falling! You’re not supposed to climb on top .. what’s the fun in that?
As soon as I get a yard, I’m starting a collection! Or maybe re-creating some myself .. anyone out there a decent welder? Serious inquiries accepted!
