Hi mags,..those big cement sewer pipes /drainage pipes,....were common in a few parks around Verdun ,.in the 60's,..certainly the park behind the police station,....as well as a park on Desmarchais near the old VHS,........Remember as a kid it was a right of passage to be able to jump and be able to get on to the top of those Cement Tubes................hahahahaha   I think  they were even painted those multi-colours even then..............................                                                                                  HF&RV

Yup! I think I got my very first kiss in one of those...lol.  The one behind the police station on Lasalle Blvd.  the tallest/most agile one in your group used to boost everyone up on top of the "tunnel" and then get on his/herself.   The park on the boardwalk near Desmarchais still had one of those the last I looked.

I knew you would know it Sharon. I took that picture just before the demise of "Parc Richard" behind the fire station when I was there in 2001. I don't know if I ever got up on top without help from my friends.
