What did you play on at the park/playground?

I used to do that all the time, or or lay my back on the swing, put my feet in the air and flip backwards.

At least until I got a face-full of wood chips.

You're lucky you didn't get a back full of broken spinal column!

when i was a kid there was an awesome wooden playground around the block. it had everything...tunnels, mazes, slides, a zip-line and escape chutes...playing tag or hide-and-seek there was awesome since there were so many nooks and crannies and you could escape from a pursuer in a heartbeat . it was like being a carpenter ant. that playground was the place to be when you were 5-12 years old, it was ALWAYS busy.
But like all good things it didn't last. its been torn down and replaced with some perma-gay plastic equipment. and guess what? No kids go to it. Its one of the most sterile playgrounds you'll ever see. one of the "rides" there is a steering wheel mounted on a pole. i get that kids need to "use their imaginations" but come on, did the adult that designed that have a great imagination? the swings and slides there are even lame. the swings sit really low and the slides are plastic and probably drop at a 15 degree angle. what a piece of crap.
