If you want to compare before and after:
<a href="https://earth.google.com/web/search/31%2e297226,+34%2e243649/@31.30298025,34.24860513,42.11479352a,3824.8490315d,35y,0h,0t,0r/" rel="nofollow">https://earth.google.com/web/search/31%2e297226,+34%2e243649... - then click "show historical imagery" next to the search box.

    I'm a little confused by this one, because if you hit the "Show historical imagery" button, and go back through the prior years, I don't really see much or anything of a playground there.

    idk if it's the same "playground" we found, but honestly just looks like an site prepared for building: <a href="https://earth.google.com/web/search/31%2e297226,+34%2e243649/@31.28059504,34.25727424,75.11256272a,4637.72526689d,35y,-0h,0t,0r/data=Cj8aEQoNL2cvMTFweDFkMWZjaxgCIiYKJAkJ8D37ATU3QBEG8D37ATU3wBkQUpxU2WBKQCGJl9Iyl4dKwEICCAE6AwoBMEICCABKDQj___________8BEAA" rel="nofollow">https://earth.google.com/web/search/31%2e297226,+34%2e243649...
