I grew up in Fort Salonga, and all my friends lived in Kings Park. Most all of them used to hang out on the grounds and smoked their pot and drank there so they wouldnt get caught. The patients would stick their arms out of their barred up windows, and yell obscenaties and crazy gestures. I hear there is alot of paranormal activity in most of the buildings now!

and its still there. surprisingly

infectious waste and a tea cup

what an awesome picture

you should see these stairs now... theyre really overgrown and broken, really broken.

sorry, my comment accidentally sent,. I am very stable on my meds, my kids are harder since their bodies change so much as children. I look at these pictures wondering what my grammie went thru in these places

My grandma went to this hospital (others too) She really did need the help, it is just too bad the meds and knowledge today was not there back then. I do know she got electric shock therapy in at least some of her hospitalizations. Today it would have baan a lot better. Pretty much everyone in my family is bipolar. I

KPPC is the Mount Everest of urban exploration sites. To say Building 93 is massive is an understatement. I've seen others attempt to photograph this monolith and it's pathetic compared to Opacity. Mr. Motts your talent can only be described as supernatural. We who are privileged to see your work are awestruck. I hope the national media discovers this site. All it would take is one story on Good Morning America or CBS Sunday Morning to make you a famous man.

Anyone who has not experienced King's Park in person, it is an excellent example of monolithic presence & blatant abandonment- which Mr Motts captures here without question.

It seems as if this bed has springs, but that shouldn't be. I'm even shocked that the frame is metal, seeing as it's in a psych facility. In all the ones I've been in the beds are just one big block of wood screwed to the floor with a plastic covered 'mattress'. These days, metal objects aren't usually allowed in psych hospitals, not even soda cans. Not even my hair tie with the tiny bit of metal. Which is really, really annoying.

That toilet looks remarkably clean, I guess they used Scrubbing Bubbles.

I think thats the fuzzy paper type of coloring pages, we were forced to color those like our lifes depended on it at McLean. Memories.

I wonder if there is still soap in those dispensers....

My younger brother also went to Playground On the Sound. My parents used to say it was orginally the childrens ward.

Ooooo, what does this button do? BA-ZAP!
