Re: Things you used to play on at the park

Yeah we had the big chute but ours was caged we pretended it was a tree house/den.
There was also a spinning thing we called the witches hat, sort of a roundabout that had a cone climbing frame attached hence the name witches hat lol. which were everybody's two favorites items.
We also had the usual- swings,slides,see-saw and roundabout.
The witches hat and slide were taken away after rumoured accidents to be replace with baby items, small slide house and a blue whale climbing frame
The see-saw was also ripped out but not replaced!

Sorry if this has already been talked about. Did anyone have any particularly good or unique things at their local park that they used to play on? Before health and safety really kicked in, my playground at the park was built on concrete and the 'big' slide wasn't caged. All things that used to be there were taken away long ago and a new one built with less exciting things. I'm not sure if caged big slides even exist anymore?! Apart from that we had the old wooden roundabout and rocking horse. There was also a rocking boat that I loved and I think was pretty unique (I never saw one at any other park I went to anyway). It was basically a rocking horse but you sat in it facing opposite ways holding bars. : )
