1960'S SPACE AGE PLAYGROUND POSTCARD

FLEA MARKET FRIDAYS #39

I didn't find much today, but I did find this -


"Hey you kids! Get off the modern art?"

This might be a new favorite postcard in my collection. The back says this is/was located in Sterling Forest Gardens, a family outdoor entertainment attraction near Tuxedo, New York.

Take a look at some modern photos of this playground equipment here, here, here and here.

There's another one of these in the tiny town of Oberlin, Kansas in the city park, although it's missing the domed part on top. I loved that thing when I was 5!

Centennial Park in Nashville had these same climbers back in the 1960s and 1970s.
