Default Cement slab, creative uses

In my yard is a cement slab about 6 by 8 feet, and 3-4 inches thick.
It was the floor of a play house built decades ago and long since
rotted away. The slab is pretty much useless now because a large tree
beside it has lifted one side about 16 inches.

I considered dragging the slab somewhere else in the yard with hand
winches and stone bars etc, but it is so heavy and large that moving
it could take all summer. *Just releasing it from the ground took a
couple of hours.

Does anyone have creative ideas for using a slab like this? *Build low
benches on it for plants? *Bury it in a rock pile? *Break it into
large pieces and move the pieces to make a patio somewhere?

If it's not too ugly, you could jack it up on cribbing and make a big
barbeque table out of it. Just make sure the columns you choose are
wide enough to prevent tipping.

It'd be more work than I'd want, but you asked.

I'd just break it up and be rid of it, personally. Or I'd stack
firewood on it.
