The main piece of equipment has a "clock tower" that looks a bit like a colonial-era city hall. It's built with a circular shaped platform with a variety of stairs and ladders – easy enough for adults to access, but with a variety of different elements for climbing.
The smaller kids climbing equipment is on the opposite end of the park, which means inevitably, a lot of running back and forth.
The rubber mats are disjointed and popping up, and there's a lot of rust on the equipment. The water feature button wasn't working. Water in other parks has been turned on, but not in others – so its unclear if this is a seasonal shortcoming, but I don't really recall it working in past summers either.
There's a constant din coming from the highway, plus the exhaust is noticeable. The equipment is dusty from it too. Just think, when that road was built, people were using lead gasoline in their cars! Anyway, this is a great example of how the city loves building playgrounds in marginalized spaces. On the plus side we've never encountered other children and its never busy. On the other hand, it does often attract weirdo adults.
Also known as Rodney Playground South, it was built as a community give-back when the BQE was cut through the neighborhood because nothing says community like a playground overlooking a busy highway.
