My playground as a suburban kid was a pond at the end of my street. The subdivision was new and built in a farm field. The pond was about three feet deep but there were drainage ditches extending out. We'd catch "pollywogs" tadpoles, squish giant black ants, and light fires. We'd also made elastic guns using a board and two nails. This would be mid 1970s. My school may have had a playground but I don't recall.
