Depends how old you are. In the 80s there was lots of this type of shit. Parks liked big conrete behemoths, because they don't really require any maintenance, and they kind of look sculptural by nature. Then parents got whiny and litigious about little Johnny breaking his teeth on the concrete and they disappeared quickly in favor of those plastic monstrosities.
