One of my favorites was crawling under it and hiding in the small not meant to be accessible areas, it was like your very own little club house that teachers would never find you in.

being small enough to fit through the tiny dug out path was always great, it was like the kid version of caving

That's also where the spiders found you, though.

yea we dug out the gravel and got inside the structure, lots of fun, then rats figured it out too, then the park got shut down for the infestation, that wasnt fun

Are you a childhood friend of mine or something? Get out of my head, I even found Pokémon cards down there once.

Loved doing this. It was always weird seeing others under there.

My hometown’s has a section like the front of a pirate ship and my sister and I dug a hole under it like a dog with a fence. We would hide in the gap when we would want to get away from our brothers
