Playground

This picture reminds me of Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY, where I lived and hung out.
Great pic.

wow, that is my post above... please excuse my name in that one, im typing with a cast on my hand

kinda looks like a zoo

there's another playground behind the children's hospital. me n some buddies found on our way out. there's a rusted swing set and slide and some see saws that we took turns riding

I love this pic! I took the same one and actually went down onto the place and the door slammed opened!! Freaky!!

I seen a kid on th play ground.

Im guessing the kid wasn't alive

does the symbol all over every fence have any meaning?

It's just decoration, I guess. It doesn't match any symbol I'm used to.

Somthin' inside of me makes me think I was here before....I donno...

i agree with CAS. its just a decore
but then again you never know!

doesnt look much like a playground to me
look like somewhere thay would hang the laundry..........

wait, where is this "kid" anyway?

Ah! There's a picture of my father's grandmother standing right there. She went to this place in the thirties. Odd. :o

It wasn't so much a play ground as an area where TB kids could get fresh air while remaining under watchful eye of care takers. Much like the rooms on the roof of the child's complex. Fresh air was part of the treatment for TB back in the day. As for the decor, the symbols on the fencing are NOT universal throughout the hospital, so I don't believe there is any significant meaning.

I been there the floor has soft spots be careful.

Looks like a place where the Children of The Corn might have played heheehe

i wonder if there are any diares left from old patients

now that would the holy grail of urbex, wouldn't it?

Now, for a way to actually get up there.

my mom drove me by there the other day... i thought the entire place looked absolutly beautiful

there are play ground hidden in the woods. two to be exact.

Yes, there were two playgrounds. One next to the children's hospital, for the children, with swings and see-saws. There was another, down the hill from there, near woods, but of course by 2009 it could have been hidden by trees, "edge". Back in the 1960's when I lived there it was out in the open, and fenced with a tall chain-link fence; no gate. It had see-saws, a swing set with three wooden-seated swings (one of which hit me in the head as a 5 year old and knocked me out!) and a slide. Near there were tennis courts used by the doctors, nurses, and families of employees who lived there. The apartment building closest to the courts was where we lived.
