This huge playground was crowded with families on a recent Saturday afternoon.
It's the kind of playground to attract people from the neighborhood but also draw families from other areas too – we happened to come across our neighbors by accident here on a recent trip.
There are lots of structures here, each different iterations of the same components, organized in different ways. There are plenty of slides and ladders and platforms, and all of them were filled with kids. The whole experience was chaotic.
There was nothing standout special about this playground other than that it was large and had many different play areas. For our toddler, this meant climbing on one structure, then running to the next, wash and repeat until tiring himself out. That's a great experience, although all the people made it more difficult to keep track of him.
We'll probably end up coming back to this playground just by chance because of the location, but I'm not sure we'd specifically seek it out. It's just not memorable, like Ann Veal: who?
Originally opened in 1964 as part of PS 282. It was renamed to Park Slope Playground in 1985, and was renovated from 1994 to 1995.
