Lisa Gulya,

If you want, I can help you with translations.

Some stuff, that exist in russian playgrounds, itòŒs hard to find in other countries, like you wrote, the lazalki, comes from word lazit, and that lazalki, is pipeline, when the gauge is small (2 inches) enaugh as to allow kids where the kids climb up, and the polzalki, this is a pipeline on ground, which gauge is big, (something like 20 inches), enaugf  to allow kids to go trough.

Sorry for spelling and english, hope you have a ideia of what are this toys for.

Greetings,

Roberto
