Ghost Train Park, Basurama, Lima Peru, 2010
Thanks to reader Ángela León for telling me about this playground of recyclables constructed underneath the support columns for a train that never arrived. It now has swings, climbers, and ziplines, mostly made from old tires, and all with a dizzying sense of height and danger (enhanced by the scale of the concrete columns) that makes for a thrilling playground. I especially love that there are LOTS of swings (most playgrounds don't have enough) which are clearly being enjoyed by all ages!

And look how TALL those swing are! wow (So many are way too short!)
ReplyDeleteOoh, thank you for posting this! I saw a small blurb with a tiny picture about it in some magazine and thought of your blog, but then when I tried to remember where I saw it and any details so I could send a message, I couldn't recall. I was really wanting more pictures too!
