Christmas Run Park — Attraction in Wooster

I've visited this park since I was a small child. There was a pond, a set of metal bleachers, and old metal playground equipment. In the winter you could ice skate on the pond.

Thankfully I had a hold of her arm otherwise she would have fallen 6 feet straight down. The ropes are way too far apart for a playground.
