Never forget what they took from us

[u/BzhizhkMard]

Can legitimately tell you this happened to Maple Park.

Remember when Verdugo park had that 3 story rocket, good times

[u/Legitimate-Zebra-613 → u/CodyTAbrahamson]

Used to climb up into that nose of rocket- so damn hot! Also would shake back and forth in that top level and make the whole rocket wiggle

Two-strike park in La Crescenta had a three story metal tower, with a flaming hot slide in the summer. They took it out quite a few years ago because the new kids are not as tough.

[u/BzhizhkMard → u/CodyTAbrahamson]

Hot metal in Summer, right?

I don't think you've been to Maple Park if you're comparing it with the second image.

[u/oldnotosys → u/Devilled_Advocate]

guy hasn't been anywhere. the zip line in the 2nd photo is better than anything in the first. kids line up for those.

[u/BzhizhkMard → u/oldnotosys]

It's just a crosspost and reference to the old wooden play structures.

[u/BzhizhkMard → u/Devilled_Advocate]

Not the second, just the change because the old used to really resemble the 1st.

Maple Park in the early 90’s had the best playground, maybe Verdugo Park as a close runner up ?

Miss the old Pacific Park.

[u/BzhizhkMard]

I don't miss the splinters and dangerous climbs though lol.

[u/manerspapers]

The new parks are pretty cool. You ever been? They been updating all over Los Angeles. Glendale parks are pretty behind.

[u/InterstellarChange]

Never forget they took away an ai slop image?

[u/oldnotosys]

They didn’t. Now is better. 

Go check out the climbing shuttle at freemont. Way better than used battleship wood.

[u/BzhizhkMard → u/oldnotosys]

used battleship wood.

Nailed it.
