Ghost Train Park, Basurama, Lima Peru, 2010

Thanks to reader Ángela León for telling me about this playground of recyclables constructed underneath the support columns for a train that never arrived.   It now has swings, climbers, and ziplines, mostly made from old tires, and all with a dizzying sense of height and danger (enhanced by the scale of the concrete columns)  that makes for a thrilling playground.    I especially love that there are LOTS of swings (most playgrounds don't have enough) which are clearly being enjoyed by all ages!






Great work by Spanish firm Basurama, who are known for their work with the landscape of trash.
