Thank you! So many fond memories of these things.

Oh, I remember those, lovely!

From:

I never even really noticed when they went away, but I never see them anymore. Modern playgrounds look so boring.

This is a nice theme. I remember going on those as a kid.

🤍 Old school playgrounds were the best. (Also, we did so many things on the monkey bars that should have gotten us killed, so I can't even rationally argue against safety changes, but ... the dangerous playgrounds were still more fun.)

From:

Yes! I feel like it was more risky and dangerous and in a weird way that made it more fun!

The combination of survivor bias and nostalgia ... I'm so fond of all these things that I did as a kid that I would never let a kid do today. Riding around un-belted in the back of station wagons, riding around in the back of pickup trucks, etc etc.

Also, I just remember a lot more of wandering around on our own, discovering the world without adult intervention that I feel like children today miss out on. (And a lot of the crime rates were *worse* when I as a kid, but my mom didn't have access to 24-hour news telling her she was a bad mom if she let me roam free.)
