“Houston, all systems go”
For the few remaining examples of playground inspired equipment, that has not yet been removed from public places, here is a fine example of a rocket ship in Bracket Park in Minneapolis. Many parks had ‘rocket slides’ or basically this structure with a slide coming out one side. This one has obviously fallen victum to the "dangerous" playground equipment hysteria sweeping the country. Amazingly in this same park, in the kiddie playground area, was a 2 story spiderweb type climbing thing. Now tell me honestly which looks more dangerous to you? A jungle gym type rocket ship all enclosed or a 2 story web of rope that kids can climb to the top of without safety gear?
