I used to play on the swings on Spring hill terrace across from the Paddock House.
A crowd of us would go over to Pendleton Ave. to the clough there and play in the brook. I remember one of the lads made a rope swing it was great. We also used to go in the orchard of the big house off of Arncliffe Ave and steal apples until the owner came out with his gun and chased us away. I remember he had some horses at one time. I lived on Arncliffe and all the kids on the ave used to play with each other, it was great.
I'd go up to Holy family school and play tennis at night. there was always something to do, sometimes we'd go the the lodge up Fern Gore or follow the "Iron Brook".
