I remember the parks with fondness. The Parks here in Tasmania , do not have play grounds in many of them. It is sad. Seems they took them down so the kids would not hurt themseves.

Hahahaha Tamara, I have often thought about that.... how we never broke our necks on those slides and swings I will never know.....

Yeah, but I thought that was half the fun, the thrill. You dont go down the slid for a soothing affect!

Here in Australia if you trip over a twig you can sue the government, local MP, shire council, mayor and even the park attendant for a billion dollars.

A slight exaggeration, but its gotten that bad. Even charity events such as fun runs have to be covered for indemnity insurance that is so expensive that the organisers have to cancel the event. Anything that requires moving a big toe is now off limits.

It seems that parents are no longer accountable for their own kids.

georg ruf jr. · June 20, 2008, 03:24:07 AM

Seeing that Mike put it on the board, I'd say NO!

I remember one particular peice of equipment at the park at the end of our ave. I used to go on it all the time, whilst eating banana shape lolies(sweets), ofcause!
It was a large pillar with ropes with handels hanging down. You sat or hung on these and some one made you spin around?
LOL LOL LOL Does anyone have any idea?
