Playgrounds could have misfit / used toys

"For as long as most people can remember—at least, most parents of kids of playground-using age—it has been home to dozens of large plastic toys. The pavement there was littered with colorful trikes, noisy walkers, enormous play kitchens, ride-on trains or trucks, and bulky bulldozers. Stuff that neighborhood parents dragged out of cramped living rooms or muddy backyards and donated to the common good at the park. Parents loved that the toys stayed out of their apartments, that there was plenty to go around, and that it helped teach sharing to irascible toddlers."
