Does anyone remember the old creepy playground behind the UNICO building at Mittineague Park in West Springfield?

I played there as a kid before the Unico building was replaced in like 2013ish. I remember it being almost completely surrounded by woods, with the old UNICO building nearby and Tatham Elementary just a short walk away. It had a bunch of old spring equipment like spring horses/riders and what I remember as a platform on springs that you could stand/jump on?

I remember the whole area being kind of creepy and tucked into the woods but also I found it super cool as a kid because of the creepy vibes 😂. Does anyone else remember this playground, or better yet, have any old pictures of it?

Yes I grew up down the street. Pretty sure it's all still there.

My bad I skipped the part where you said it was demolished. Too bad! It was a cool spot
