The newish playground had a lot of slides, but our four-year-old was obsessed with the little play house.
We arrived on a drippy afternoon after buying some children's clothing on Myrtle Avenue. Its just a few blocks from the main business district in Ridgewood, and just off the Forest M, making it a convenient greenspace.
Although the equipment was new and in good condition, there wasn't anything too remarkable about it. One of the larger sections had a lot of rope climbing, but after raining all morning this was too wet to play on, and also too punishing generally for small children.
The smaller piece of equipment didn't have anything wrong with it other than being a bit boring. There were lots of slides here, though they were all the same size which seems like a lot of quantity over quality.
The tiny playhouse was a favorite with a lot of little sensory elements to it. Unlike other playhouses, it was clearly too small for an adult to join in.
Overall there was a lot of sensory equipment in this park with different types of sensor boards, but otherwise not all that special considering the size. There were a lot of lovely shade trees, and facilities like toilets, but these were in bad shape.
Originally built in 1917 and jointly operated with the Board of Education and Parks, the facility includes sports areas like basketball courts (although these are weirdly sloped and uneven).
