At first, the townspeople were happy that the terrifying monkey heads they’d planted succeeded in scaring away any unsavory criminal elements from the local playground… until it soon became clear that the spooky simians also frightened away children.
Could be worse, chavs could have ruined everything with graffiti, although those monkeys are pretty damn scary. They’d be even scarier after the chavs got to them of course.
This just reminds me of a nice old nostalgic playground. The equipment is all metal. Pic is more cool that WTF in my opinion. I’m glad that there are some of these still around. Everything in my neighborhood has been ripped up and replaced with plastic equipment. It all looks the same. Maybe I’m getting old?
Forget the monkey heads. I can believe how rickety that piece of crap is. Look at the seat-swing on the right!
Ahhhh, the days of metal playsets. Nostalgic indeed.
Now all they have are earth-friendly playsets made from recycled milk jugs, with acres of bark around that’s 3 feet deep so the kids don’t hurt themselves.
Ya know, if we eliminate all possible causes of head-injuries, the dodctors will never learn what to do once one comes along…..
this, my friends, comes from the city of Lvov, Ukraine. It’s a playground next to the circus. many old soviet-stlye places there are in a lovingly decayed stadium.
What the hell kind of playset is that anyway? I mean, the jungle-gym part is like, 10 feet off the ground, with no way to get to it except straight up a smoother metal pole.
tpezz :

We had a playground in my old neighborhood with some metal-pipe climbing structure…. with a snake/worm head in a straw hat at the end of it. The last time I visited (5 years ago), it was still there. That was probably the most WTF playground I’ve seen until this picture.
Snake/worm in a straw hat? Ever seen Richard Scarry’s books? He had a character named Lowly Worm that was an earthworm in a hat. The old 70’s riding toy, Inchworm, wore a hat, too.
I wear a hat, but I’m not a worm. I have a pet worm though. I call him Julian. We have tea parties. Sometimes when I’m placing oranges in a circle, I think about my thoughts, and I laugh. Mummy says that’s normal. But Daddy is afraid of me.
No, my pet leprechaun went to heaven when Mummy backed the car over him, and we buried him in a shoebox under the tree where my goat used to dance. Daddy said he deserved it, so now I must feed the underpants gnomes on alternating Thursdays instead of Tuesdays.
Silly meh, the underpants gnomes would certianly die and that would be very sad, for we would know that we could make profits but we would never find out how. Mummy says step two is ever so important and it is not worth the risk. Daddy says, “Moo”. He’s like that sometimes.
Once, roving bands of chimpanzees did ravage this innocent playground. Then came the spetznaz. These grisly trophies are a tacit warning to any simian that dare disturb the peace of this sacred park.
first!

She’s from the Planet of the Apes!

i’ll bet that if you get too close to them that water sprays out of the mouth at you
@Pariah
idiot
We have one of those in our local playground its from the 50s and its lion heads instead of monkeys which is even creepier
Looks like another creepy reminder of the lovely Soviet Union days.. could bet that it’s somewhere in Russia.
In Soviet Russia the bars monkey you?…
Hmm the monkeys don’t bother me much, I rather like the picture…kinda nostalgic.
@The What Now?
but they failed to realize that it attracts fugly women in silvery bubble jackets toting a mazda give-away bag.
Anyone notice monkey heads yet no monkey bars? And maybe they’re putting too much emphasis on the fact that it’s a jungle gym.

That, or it’s part of the fun fair in Monkey Island 2…
np: The Wooden Birds – Seven Seventeen (Magnolia)
Did Silent Hill have a playground?
@speedkermit
Funny, I was thinking the same thing.
What the hell kind of playset is that anyway? I mean, the jungle-gym part is like, 10 feet off the ground, with no way to get to it except straight up a smoother metal pole.
That really doesn’t look like a ball of fun, does it?
Is that a woman? I thought so too at first, but looking again it could be a boy.
Now those are some REAL monkey bars!!!

@Dances With Dingos
LMAO do you have a leprechaun that tells you to light fires too…??
No, my pet leprechaun went to heaven when Mummy backed the car over him, and we buried him in a shoebox under the tree where my goat used to dance. Daddy said he deserved it, so now I must feed the underpants gnomes on alternating Thursdays instead of Tuesdays.
LOL that’s awsum…and sad…but funny too!! What happens if you don’t feed the underpants gnomes? Do they get angry?
Silly meh, the underpants gnomes would certianly die and that would be very sad, for we would know that we could make profits but we would never find out how. Mummy says step two is ever so important and it is not worth the risk. Daddy says, “Moo”. He’s like that sometimes.
And I thought I had mental issues my leprechaun only comes out when I play rockband
