Madison Park Playground

The swings are big enough for adults :o)

My kids love to play here. The swings are big, the play structure is big and multifaceted, there’s a carousel and big stone animals to climb on.

People-watching here is a hoot. You’re not likely to find a greater concentration of plastic bodies anywhere else in the city. The neighborhood is very up-scale, and the moms and dads who, when their nannies have the day off, truck Jr. down the hill to the playground, often spend their time gabbing on their cell phones, preening and posing their surgically enhanced bodies.

We don’t go to this playground that often, only when we’re in the mood for an ice cream cone from Scoop Du Jour.
