Are you sure he can? If only there was an easy way to do it.

As a kid, I fell from the top of one of these things and landed flat on my stomach.

To this day, I can remember how painful that was.

Detroit has a skyline too...

I thought they tore all of these down in the 80's with the onset of 'Let's make playgrounds safer, and no fun to play on' movement.

Another example of how time stopped in the city in many parts. Many old everyday items are found scattered still being used today or until they fall into disrepair.

The playground at E Warren and Chene also has an ldodger ejector apparatus. Here's a link to the google street view.

hilarious!

The two parks where we used to play no longer appear on a map--the park just East of Gratiot on Seven Mile (the infamous park) and JoAnn Park (the park where we used to ice skate).

I used to take my nephew to play at Joann park. He was 2 and I was 6. It was about a block from my sister's house and she would cross us at the corner and I'd take him to swing and play in the sand. Those were the days.
