Cool,old playgrounds

I am the first to admit that some of the newer  playgrounds out there are pretty amazing. We have seen some that look like modern art with their color schemes and art deco designs. Funny that many of the new playgrounds have signs that say something like " this playground was built for children aged 5-12". Really?!?! So a mature 4 year old or immature 13 year old; where do they work into this equation? LOL

OK, but back to the title of this blogpost....old playgrounds. We have all seen them. They are total throwbacks to the 70's or earlier. They tend to have rusty metal pieces instead of plastic. The slides are like 30 feet high with no side protection. There are those funny bobbing animals that are falling apart with chipped paint flaking off.
Lead paint, most likely. They may have themes linked to old cartoons, like loony toones, yogi bear, Mr Magoo.
The next few pics are from our latest cool playground. I wonder if it will still be around in 50 years?
