If you cut the concrete pipes in half, you could make little seats for the children or their parents to sit on.

Use slightly larger pipes and you’d have “picnic tables.” Place smaller seats in front of them.

Could we use the pipes as places where kids could park their bikes by drilling slots in them?

What about a slide make out of a concrete pipe? Swimming pools are made out of concrete, so there has to be something we could use to treat the concrete so that it wouldn’t scrape the knees and toes as badly.

I’m not a contractor, so my ideas may not work. I also am limited because I’m NOT a contractor. Someone with knowledge of materials could really help us here.

What could we use in conjunction with concrete to build in the playground? Could we use a concrete pipe split in half as the foundation, and wood on top to build one of those playground toys that spin around?

What about a concrete pipe fort? Now THAT would be fun! Let the kids paint it with bright colors.

It just takes ideas — one idea at a time.

What are YOUR ideas?
