Vincent V. Abate Playground is an urban playground in McCarren Park with fun features!

This massive, super fun playground is located right in McCarren Park and has a ton to offer kids of all ages.  There are four fenced-in baby swing areas and three tiny playgrounds for the littles, which helps keep the older, more boisterous children in their own zone.  A playset will entertain bigger kids with features such as a twisting slide, monkey bars, a large play area, and more. 

The park is shaded, has benches lining the fence, and a bathroom.  Visitors can also enjoy an on-site basketball court, a splash pad, a massive public pool open during the summer season, and a turf track and field nearby.   The best part is that it's located right off several main streets, so you can access many different dining options and public transportation pre- or post-play.  

The park was pretty crowded when I was there on a beautiful autumn day, and I imagine with the pool being open, it only gets busier.
