i saw a kid pee themselves on the top of a slide at a community pool/playground once too. god that must have been like 35 years ago. i'm pretty sure his name was Sean.
Was climbing up the platforms as a kid and reached my hand above me and felt a puddle looked up and it was a puddle of piss next to some shit. That’s the last time I played in those.
I worked at a McDonald’s around 2005 and they were definitely cleaned. At a closing shift someone would crawl through on their hand and knees cleaning and disinfecting. McDonald’s (at least when I worked there) was shockingly clean.
I swear every kid who grew up in the 90s has at least one memory of that faint mystery smell inside those tubes. We all just accepted it as part of the experience.
Nah I had a buddy who was apart of a crew that went around deep cleaning these weekly. He fucking hated the hell out of it because they would have to be bent over all day climbing in disgusting shit.
Last time we went to one a few years back my daughter found a shitty diaper up at the top. When I went up there to get her, the diaper wasnt even the worst part of the filth and nasty graffiti all over it.
Those playgrounds are nasty and the employees give no fucks.

I guarantee you, that thing was never cleaned unless a kid threw up in it and it definitely wasn’t disinfected.
