I remember alot of those from my earlier years. The things I remember most are: playing hockey on a pond across a main road till we could no longer see the puck. We looked both ways and no one ever got hit, the only injuries were bruises from someone lifting the puck too high(wore only shin guards, typically soccer ones). Now I never ever see anyone at the pond when I go by there. We played almost every day after school till dark and ever saturday afternoon.
We played baseball(as well as lacrosse, frisbee and what ever else we decided) in the commons area during the summer (used a tennis ball) and never broke a window, hit them many times though. We'd all run away for a few minutes so the owner wouldn't catch us in the act, then later resume playing. Now I see No Ball Playing signs there, I heard some kids were using a baseball and broke a few windows.
Sledding down a hill with a 2 foot or so drop on to a pond. Building jumps where ever we decided to sled.
Climbing as high in to trees as the branches would hold, in some trees you could see buildings miles away. No one ever really fell except off the lowest branch when starting a climb.
