New Central Park Playground: East 110th Street Playground Reopens After Beautiful Renovation
Submitted by Raven Snook on
There's a brand-new romping spot in northern Central Park. After 10 months of rebuilding from the ground up, the East 110th Street Playground across from the Dana Discovery Center has reopened and it's a beauty. Aimed at school-age children and organized into four distinct circular sections, the revamped play space has a great water feature, three tire swings, six big-kid strap swings as well as a swing for children with special needs, and a wooden play structure with lots of things to climb, swing across and conquer.
Since this is my family's local playground, my eight-year-old was very concerned about how the renovation would turn out. She really loved the old equipment, even though it dated back to the '80s and was seriously broken-down. I'm happy to report that ever since the new playground opened last Thursday, she's insisted on visiting every single day.
