These pictures are a snapshot of those memories which show a generation of Blackpool kids in the 90s and 00s enjoying fresh air in the playground. So many to remember from traditional games as well as more modern fun such as giant chess, trim trails and…. adventure playgrounds. It was a big deal if you had one of those at school.
In case you missed them: 29 adorable scenes of Blackpool kids on their first day at school in the 00s - including Revoe, Claremont, Devonshire Road, Mereside, Thames and Roseacre schools
