Rockwood in Chesterfield used to have all these wooden structures for kids. I can still remember how they felt and the sounds the suspension bridge made when you ran across and jumped on it. They were all replaced with more modern stuff at some point for presumably safety reason despite the wood being all worn down and smooth from use. 🤷‍♀️

Ralph Sampson in conjunction with the community helped build that playground IIRC. Remember going to a basketball camp/clinic at Arthur Ashe center and winning the rebounding award and a giant check being presented for the playground. I remember being really upset for having to wear a purple shirt and took my aggression out on the backboard. Have a picture of me and Sampson somewhere and I’m so short I don’t even reach his waste.
