I was on a bunch of these as a kid, they all moved when you were swinging like they may just fall over, it gave the whole thing an added sense of danger. Also, those slides became deadly come July. We have a PodCast! It’s fun, please listen. Check out our Instagram for more stuff like this […]
PS Reader Murilo sent in these pictures from Ana Lidia Park in Brazil, where 70s playgrounds still stand and in great condition. Let’s explore: This is a pretty deluxe rocket set if I do say so myself. This is Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage (Model 155-422) from this catalog. And this looks like the old Woman’s shoe from […]
I got a happy email this week in the form of this photo from Cory, who showed me that a vintage Giganta is still in good condition and being enjoyed in Benbrook Texas. I featured Giganta on the site a couple of years ago and it’s awesome to see one survived the polyester decade. Occasionally folks […]
Time to travel back in time and take a look and see what recreation drug use and what appears to be a complete lack of concern for child safety can produce with volume five of Retro Playground Equipment.It’s whacky, weird and I totally miss this stuff.For more Playgrounds, check out these fabulous links: . ..

I can totally still feel the fat lips I got from this kind of stuff.
Time to pay tribute again to those wonderful bits of metal pipe that gave us thousands of hours of joy and are likely rusting in a scrap yard by now. The past I’ve focused on specific themes like the ever popular Spaceship or Story books but this one is just plain old funky playground equipment, […]
Props to Myspace pal “The Comatose Boy” for these amazing pictures from Grand Junction Colorado where the remanants of an old school rocket park can be found. THe top of the rocket is now closed to the public, but tell me that isn’t cool. An old school Saucer too, man finding this is gold! Click […]
Our last piece on retro playground equipment was a big hit so I unearthered a few more robots, rocket ships and flying saucers made of “pipe n’ concrete” for your enjoyment. Check out Retro Space Playgrounds Part 2.
Another return to the retro play ground this time our adventures are grounded to Earth but they are no less fantastic. Journey now to Story Book Themed Playgrounds. Castles, Giant Shoes and Spiders all draped with a little bit of 70’s funk. In case you missed our last entry in this series, it was Space […]
