Playground Pick: Central Park’s East 110th Street Playground

central park playgroundThe East 110th Street Playground in Central Park was just renovated, and it is back with a vengeance! Highlighting an innovative design, the spot boasts four circular spaces connected by a wooden walkway. Each circle has its own theme: One holds cooling water areas perfect for the warmer months, while another features an elaborate, wooden play structure. Kiddos who love to fly through the air will cherish both to-and-fro and tire swings located in the other two circles. The destination also got a landscaping makeover, and now sports a low, stone wall perimeter, a new grassy lawn, and climbing boulders. centralparknyc.org
