    Today's exploration brings us to a city in America that is declining financially. A town recreation center was built years ago, and was serving the community right for many years, until an unexpected fire. The building was torched and the building was left abandoned. Without the right funding in the city, the community center was never able to be fixed and reopen. Building's with purpose like this mean a lot to the communities they serve, helping children of hard working parents care for their child while they can make a living, but no more. The building has everything left behind inside of it still, including toys and many more items that may be familiar to an individual that grew up in the 90's 00's , like myself. Enjoy this exploration as we wander this building and have fun doing it.

      Psst…. They were doing them in the 70s too….I was less an 7 not sure which yr but while playing with the parachute in elementary school I went to pull down and slammed my head onto the concrete…I think it was the bus lanes or something. The things that looked like flipped over tables in the first couple of rooms were actually little beds for naps! Y’all totes could use that as a gym… cheaper!

    This one is close to my heart. I was an early childhood educator here in Atlantic Canada, took the college course between 2009 to 2011 and worked in it for one year, and burned out. Curriculum planning got the better of me. My favourite age to work with was infants. I'm in phone tech support for an American insurance company and couldn't have kids of my own. This one doesn't look much different than ours.

    We played games with that type of parachute in gym class when I was in elementary school in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
    I preferred that sort of gym activity over organized team sports type of activities.
    I’ve always been healthy, active, and fit, but I never liked playing in organized team sports. I also hated the dreaded Presidential Fitness Test.
    The best part of being an adult is not being forcibly subjected to things like team sports or fitness tests.
    This building looks like it was an old school that was converted into being a combination of a pre-school and community fitness center for adults and perhaps older children and teens as that fitness center didn’t look geared towards children.
    It’s a shame that the building caught on fire.

    Ooh such a very interestingly awesome, and intriguingly cool exploration video, I so really loved and enjoyed it.
    I really love watching abandoned places exploration videos, I get a lot of inspiration for stories from them and building stories around the more mysterious places.
    I got a lot of inspiration for the liminal spaces/abandoned places story series Mysteriarch Mythos: dark materials of anemoia I’m working on writing.
    I’m working on creating a dimension for my book and world that I temporarily named ‘the abandoned spaces dimensions.
    It’s a dimension of abandoned places of all kinds and it’s where urban explorers from all over the virtual internet/dreamscape world come to explore.
    Great job and well done.
