    Playgrounds of yesteryear

    I can remember the playgrounds of the 6os, and they are different to ones that are in use today, but found this vid of play grounds of even earlier years.
    Wow! they were high and big!
    It says playgrounds originated in 1837 by the Germans.

    There used to be an awesome playground in Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. A big man four stories high that you could climb through with a slippery-dip out through his groin- perfect.

    That video is so right. I remember the old steel school play ground equipment. From memory it was just sand underneath too. Also remember Mercurochrome, not so good memories. Lucky for me though I just lost a fair bit of bark, no broken bones.
