playground

Set within the beauty of 30-acre Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn sits a playground always teeming with toddlers.

Set at the southeast corner of the park, along busy and trendy DeKalb Avenue,  this playground generally attracts the toddler to 5-year-old group. Here you'll find a very compact, brightly colored climbing structure with ramps, some stairs, and a slide. The playground is fully enclosed. 

For those looking for baby swings, head across the park to the northwest corner, where you'll find an enclosed baby swing area (next to New Fort Greene Playground, which caters to older children). This playground is Level II ADA compliant.
