Southern California Help!!!
I'm trying to figure out the name of a park and if the rocket ship is still there.
I was born and raised in southern Cali till I was 11, then moved to the cold Michigan area...brr... Anyways, around Aneheim / La Habra, somewhere around there, I remember a big park, had a sandy play ground, metal toys and slides, swings, though the big thing that I remember is this probably 3 story metal rocketship, that went straight up into the air. You could climb all the way to the top and "drive" it. My mom took a picture on her camera phone when she was there years ago but doesn't remember the name of it. about 16 years ago at least, there was a carls junior really close to it and I believe there is a school or baseball diamond or a track way off to one side. I know it's a long shot, though would love to know so I could go there again when it's feasible, take my daughter and relive some memories. |

No, but a park near my house still has one of these vintage playground items.

This thread reminded me of sadlands back in the day. Any SoCal skateboarders will know what I'm talking about.

Re: Southern California Help!!!
Those rockets are freaking awesome. Maybe the coolest playground equipment I've seen (or maybe I just like Futurama too much
 ).

Re: Southern California Help!!!
had lots of fun as a kid in parks like this in socal i was not sure if that kind of stuff was still around. i remember other kids getting hurt all the time on stuff like this but they were usually climbing up the outside of the rocket.
