Even since I was a kid, playgrounds have changed so much, we had a big metal rocket ship that we played in at a local park and those awesome merry go rounds! The latest thing at my sons school is a 'spare parts' shed, they get a bunch of scrap materials and have to use their imaginations.

Your pictures of the old playground equipment brought back memories of a time when kids could swing and climb and twirl and nobody wore a helmet or protective knee pads.
