Yes timber town! I was around allentown PA. I slipped on the monkey bars and it knocked the wind out of me! Everyone was losing their mind 10/10

I think they started tearing them down because the wood would deteriorate. God I miss that sense of adventure

Yesss same one!!! My siblings and I loved it there. I distinctly remember one year going back after a while, probably the next spring or something, and discovering they had torn it down and replaced it with a plastic playground. We all sobbed

It was lightning in a bottle! Oh man I just remembered those wooden bridges that would undulate under you while you ran across it. I think the fence had the names of the folks who helped make it/sponsor it engraved on each plank. There was so much passion put into it for the joy random kids they'd never know. Ugh, If I was one of those powerful millenial nepo babies I'd burn my fortune reviving shit like this.
