    Love the “then and now” photos! We use this playground daily and love it, glad for the long history.

    Thank you for posting these!  I can remember when the “new” playground was built, when I was about 5 or 6.  We played down there nearly every day.  It was the greatest playground we’d ever seen (the new one in ’69)!  Nothing could ever live up to that marvel. :-)
