Woodford Playground

This awesome, metal playground was found on our travels as we passed through Woodford, Vermont. We had to stop to take some photographs (and possibly play on the playground, too). It had four main pieces of equipment: swings, a spider web (see below) and two larger climbing apparatuses (jungle gyms is what I call them).

Woodford Hollow Elementary School.

Did anyone else call these things spiderwebs? My elementary school had a multicolored one; I seldom see these spiderwebs around anymore. See the swings and one of the jungle gyms in the background.

This is the apparatus on the right in the photo above. My elementary school had something very similar to this. 1960s perhaps?

This apparatus is to the left of the swings and opposite the other apparatus. More of the awesome playground equipment. What fun to climb it as a kid!

Tetherball too!

And an action shot of tetherball. That must have been the most dangerous thing to play with on that playground, but it was fun!
