Have you not seen a playground from the 70s and 80s?

You haven’t lived until you’ve climbed inside a hamburger jail cell baw.

Sorry, you had issues, I was a fit & trim kid never had those issues.

The playground was fun.

I’m not sure there’s a single thing from my elementary school playground that would meet today’s safety standards.

McDonald’s Birthday Party

I miss being able to bring my alien to birthday dance parties at McDonalds.

Fixed it for ya!

You're obviously still eating at McDonalds so I'd bet the state is still true.

And also seeing an older kid with big ears sliding his head through the bars and getting stuck.

I was the first kid to play in the Tillmans Corner McDonalds playground when it opened...circa 1977 for about 10 min I had it all to myself...and it was great. (We lived up by WC Grigs ) and on Saturdays my dad and I would walk to McDonald's.

If you could climb on top of the tree you were a stud.


Parents were just inside smoking not caring at all.

I came to say the same thing. The back of your legs were certain to get second-degree burns. And there was always a line to go again.

What a time to be alive.

If you’re feeling nostalgic, you can still get the cakes, apparently.

What you talking about Baw?? In the 80’s, those old playgrounds were awesome as a kid….just like Birthdays at MickyD’s.
I loved the the burger tower! You suck.

I remember doing a "clown car" type of thing with that attraction at a party one time - it was legit terrifying. We got like 10 of us up in there and couldn't get out.
