Hi Rosemary:)
Yes indeed this was your
playground.
I remember how many folks use
to outside during summer around
here..I also remember some folks
used folding aluminum lawnchairs
that they brought outside when
sitting around the front porch
yapping about everything in my
Burg day:)
I spent a long hot summer there back in the day as City of Trenton Recreation Assistant. Kids were great though.
The old Chambersburg Poultry Market is dead center across the street.
Tom, if you were one of the Recreation Assistants, I was possibly one of the kids. I spent a lot of time at this park on the swings and at Harrison School on the old merry-go-round.
Bill,
More than likely, you were one of the kids at park. Brings back good memories for me.
Mack, I was making a 'funny'..I knew that was the same playground.lol Tom, what years did you 'work' there? For me, as a child, it would have been mid 50's. We moved to Hamilton in 1959. I remember those wooden swings and standing as I tried to get as high as I could. Well, guess whose foot slipped while trying to sit? Yeah, surprised nothing got broken! Then I remember the metal glider near the swings. While sitting and 'gliding', the inside of my knee got 'pinched' by the bolt in motion. Nasty bruise on that one...Funny, these kids today don't know what they are missing with all the child protected play equiptment...hahahahaha
Rosemary,
I think it was 1962.
i was one of the kids at old washington...late 60's - mid-late 70s
Mack:
I was one of the "kids" that attended Washington School on that property in 1936.
