10 Best Brooklyn Playgrounds
Imagination Playground
This Prospect Park playground doesn’t have the bells and whistles of some of the newer playgrounds—although it does have a water-spewing dragon, which is pretty cool. But there are no swings or rope courses or anything like that. Instead, it is designed to encourage kids to use their heads when they play and to create their own fantasy world. There is also a statue inspired by wonderful children’s author Ezra Jack Keats that is a favorite place for settling down and reading a book.
