i couldn't find any photos of the old playground, but it looks like there's a community garden there now - (http://hcgarden.wordpress.com/2010/05/29/grow-veggies-grow/)

During the summer, all the neighborhood children would gather at Humphrey Calder Playground to play games at the Pavillion, march with the American flag, or just play on the playground equipment. The city streets were so safe for us in the 1950s. My memories are so vivid.
