Plastic & Plywood Playgrounds?

Punters and Punk Gyms?

Or, in the fashion of B & Bs?

Why not call these urban asylums "P & Ps?"

Listen up, pal. I don't need to go to a gym to be intimidated. I do just fine with that outdoors.

Only "rock gym" I ever spent time in was Indian Creek. All those indoor places were called "climbing gyms." Weren't no rock in them.

The Happiest Place on Earth.

I'm serious. You just have to do it right. Roll in about 10:30am on a weekday and smoke some grass in the parking lot. After about 3 hours it's time for lunch and maybe go surfing if it is any good.

It's fun!

There is a section on the parking lot at pg sf strictly dedicated to safety meetings.
