A gem in design, Peter &Willie statue will warm the hearts of any young or old fan of the children's book author, Ezra Jack Keats. Really cool dragon fountain, excellent shade for children and guardians.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for creative kids who enjoy imaginative play over traditional swings and slides. The excellent shade makes it perfect for hot summer days, though the often-empty atmosphere means less social interaction. Ideal for families seeking a unique, peaceful playground experience in Prospect Park.

“Very unusual in design, this is a gem of a playground in Prospect Park. Lots of benches and tree, so lots of shade for parents to enjoy as their kids get their imaginations challenged running around. Heavy, 3/4 closed gate is the only means of egress, so the kids stay put. Nice place.”

“Very cute place to use your imagination. No swings, slides or traditional park items. But curious play statues and sculptures that encourage pretend play, it is right next to Lincoln Road playground so we often do both.”
