Well, I don't know how things are in your part of the world, but when I was a kid, there were more parks to play pick-up ball in, more playgrounds to play basketball in etc. I look around now, and I wonder where kids have to go to do the things we did. Mostly what I see when I look around is parking lots and malls.
When I was a kid, we didn't go to the park and be accosted by guys twice our age selling crack either.
I can't answer for Elkins Park, but Toronto has changed dramatically since I was a kid.
