9 Reasons why playgrounds back in the day are more AWESOME than today's playgrounds
Using pictures from old playground equipment catalogs, this article looks at all the old, awesome metal playground fun kids had back in the '60s, '70s and '80s.  Includes playground slides that look like giant rocket ships and a huge metal robot.

When I was growing up, and even before that in the ’60s and ’70s, the playground was not only unsafe, it might possibly kill you. Everything was made of steel held together by sharp metal rivets and slides towered over 20 feet high oftentimes curly cue-ing around 3 or 4 times. It was awesome and it was insane at the same time. It was awe-sane!!
