Apart from the local park with swings, and one of those things that about six or eight of you sat on one behind the other and kind of swung back and forth until it went up high enough to hit the bars. Where Did You Play as a Kid? 665317 Lol We spent a lot of time on the common making camps in the bracken which horrifies me to think of now because during the hot summer there must have been loads of adders about!!!! For someone that can’t stand snakes, I never gave it a thought when we were younger. :shock: Lol
We also had a place just outside of town where lots of people used to go for picnics with their parents. A nice walk along the riverside then you came to a place with a very steep sandy hill and as kids we would run from the top of it down and into the water to paddle, then run back up again, but having got soaking wet, we all went home with stained clothes from the bright orange sand. Lol
When my daughter was young we went there for a walk with our dog. My daughter and the dog raced up the sand. I ended up crawling up there puffing and blowing, nearly bloody killed me!!! Groan Lol

Awe, we didn't play anywhere as nice as that Candy :D and I wouldn't mind the snakes.
I used to have a Royal Python called Monty Lol. He was gorgeous and used to feed out
of your hands (not live things though, I couldn't do that)
We used to live near Camms bus garage and used to sneak in there and play on the busses
and under them, I remember we lost a ball under a bus and because I was the youngest, I'd
get bossed around Lol so I had to crawl under this really low bus and couldn't see a thing,
I came back out no problem with the ball in hand and dog poo all down my front :evil: I had
no friends that day Where Did You Play as a Kid? 44866 everyone ran off and left me stood holding the ball and covered in
muck hammer

We just used to play around the road where we lived, usually chasing each other round with washing up bottles full of warm water in the summer Where Did You Play as a Kid? 44866. If we werent doing that we'd be either on the swings in our garden or at a friends house in their garden

I was usually on the golf course or tennis court at the Country Club. Always on the move. Still am.

We used to play at the local swing park as well Candy, that long thing you speak of we used to call the Horse, i don't know if that was it's proper name or not but we spent many a summer evening on it. Other than that, we played around the streets where we lived doing the usual things, Hide and seek, ropes, rounders to mention a few. But those were the days. Where Did You Play as a Kid? 44866

I lived in a small village and we played at the park or down by the river. We had one of those swings you're talking about candy............we called it the Horse as well............and then there was the Witch's Hat roundabout.............I bet Killie and Morgan remember them. wink I found a couple of pictures of them...........

oh yes mazzie the top picture does look like the thing I was talking about. I have seen the witches hat one before but dont think we had one at our park. I was never one for roundabouts anyway, just watching other people on them made me feel sick .Lol
