When I was growing up, the local burgerking had an amazing playground. It was a three story monster where the way up was by going into a cylindrical tube, fully metal, with a ladder in it. Once you get in, you are going up. Once up, the way to get down was to pray-and-lean to get a firestation style pole to the ground, or you had to jump to reach it.
Kid got killed on it, so the local place took metal and sealed off the entrance. Some kids tried to climb the fire poles up and got hurt, so they had to demolish it.
I keep trying to find photographs of it to show my wife / kiddo, but it seems noone took pics. Or, at least, it was never posted online. I'd like to find out how much of my memory is real, and how much of it was because I was a tiny kid.

Just imagine what the bacterial load in those things was. edit: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6b/ee/e1/6beee1f814110c0dd90289f38d18a41a.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6b/ee/e1/6beee1f814110c0dd902...
