“This a regular New York City playground that is right across the street from the Gun Hill Projects. Lots of families with kids enjoy the park, especially the sprinklers in the summer. Basketball is huge here with many official games played every Saturday in the summer. They also host several neighborhood outdoor parties with official permits.”
