I had no idea the park I grew up going to and that I now take my kids to - a few blocks down the street from me - had been immortalized in a Zippy the Pinhead comic strip. Ten years ago, even. I used to read Zippy all the time in college, not so much lately...
Zippy - Hunting in Huntington Beach
Found at Waymarking. The poster there refers to them as a semi-circle and a saddle, but we always thought of them as the "Swiss Cheese" and the "Tent."

I'm glad it's still there - luckily it was saved when they redid the whole shopping center, but it's sort of a 50's diner now.
