It’s still in great shape for its age and 100’s of kids use it every week.

And boy is it a fast slide!! If your not ready you will go flying all the way to the floor!

Love it!!

I played in it as a kid and lost time I was there (a few months ago). It still stands.

I used to play on one in Zion, Ill and it was the coolest thing!! So cool to see it still exists and it wasn't all in my head…LOL

I'm a brazilian reader. I'm writing this just for tell that we had a Giganta, just like that, here in my city too! Hahaha

This was when I was a child, now I'm 24…

Nice to see this!

All we got were the standard designs (the most interesting of which was the geodesic dome.)

You folks in Benbrook have a slide down both sides for me, ya hear?

(now wanting to hit the nearest playground)
