I guess I must be lucky in that all of the parks I played in as a child are actually still parks, and, apart from softer surfaces under swings, slides, etc, are pretty much unchanged. We have lived in our current house for 28 years and behind the house there is another patk which is also pretty much the same as it's always been, and is very well used, particularly in the summer, but all year round by the many dog walkers and the sports teams who play there.
