There was a big field near our house with high tension electrical towers. We used to play there all the time, dig holes, make forts, etc.
But a secret place was the 4' wide space between our garage and the one that belonged to the neighbors who lived behind us. A 5' high cinder block wall divided our back yards, and there was a T at the end to block off the space between the garages. There was no fence on the other side, though.
As soon as I was old enough to reach the top of the wall (5 years old?), I would climb it and use that space as a get away. It felt like a secret hide out.
Plus from the back yard on the other end of the gap, we could get the next street over from ours.0 0 0 0well i guess just the roof of our house at times. i could climb onto it from our side gate.

0 11Under the deck, and when I was small enough, there was a wide row of “hedges,” but a little kid could get through the them pretty easily and just hang out in between the rows. Those were sort of my “hiding spots” when I was younger, but I didn’t really have that much when I got older. I’d usually just go to my room or go downstairs to my office.
