Jungle Gyms

A compilation of those marvelous metal monstrosities of the playground from the 1970s.

I enjoyed many an hour climbing on -- and falling off of -- such constructs. But put one of these on a playground today and some precious snowflakes might skin their knees -- thus beginning a vicious spiral of anti-bacterial showers, emergency room trips, lawsuits, and emotional therapy.

It's okay, though; just park the paper-skinned lil' darlings behind a Playstation and ignore them. Maybe one of those games will teach them to speak Chinese.

I remember strawberry park had one of the rocket ships. It also had a polished metal isosceles triangle looking thing that had a bar along the top so you could climb up and then slide. I also remember that it got so hot in the summer time you could have cooked burgers on it. Good times.
Just so you know I was not traumatized by any of the playground equipment I played on as a child and am a well adjusted person, except for my irrational fear of clowns, but lets face it, they are some scary bastards.
