All of the above.. My favourite though was a climbing frame.. all metal.. tall.. you could climb up and then hang upside down on the very top and watch the world... If I had ever fallen, I'd have landed head-first on concrete. Some might say that would have done me good :P
Second favourite was a roundabout.. it was a conical thing.. and if you were on there with your friends you could make it sway back and forth rather than go round, basically giving everyone bumps.. I had a friend who broke her arm.. I think she fell off it onto the concrete.
We had steel monkey bars. I was quite the tree climber as a youth. When I got to high school, I could climb the ropes in a flash. (fastest in the whole school) Not any more.
I have had it with germaphobes. They are imbalanced and ruin life for everyone else. I swim in pools that must be filled with pee too. You know what? The entire world including our bodies are filled with the worst things imaginable. We are walking smelly messes inside. So, I just try and not be caught up in too much of it.
I would rather (here it comes get ready) play in a sandbox filled with pee pee than eat a hamburger. Think on that. Think of what you are chomping down upon.
the bottom disc spins but the top part doesn't so when you try to turn it you spin yourself around, and because you're standing up right at the center the speed is insane, some serious g-force. but only like 2 kids can fit at a time and it's easy to stop and get off so it's a little less dangerous than the other spinny thing, what's it called, merry go round?
I loved everything except the merry-go-round. We lived across the street from my elementary school so the playground was my backyard. I never stopped loving to go over and swing, slide down that huge double slide, climb on the monkey bars, and I especially liked playing on the parallel and uneven bars. People would hang upside down on the monkey bars, well, on all of the bars. So my friend and I would search for lost coins (from pockets) under the bars in the late afternoons. We did pretty well in that little endeavor.
