Must see playgrounds in the U.S.!

Summer is around the corner again!Yayyyy!So I compiled a list of some interesting playgrounds in America that i think people with kids or those that are young at heart should visit!Enjoy!!!


 1.New york city hopper,Nelson A.Rockerfeller playground,NYC located between River Terrence and warren street.

Nelson A. Rockefeller Playground, NYC

This beautiful Battery Park playground has something for all ages.  The huge jungle gyms are a great place for kids to meet "park friends"as they run over the bridge or jump on the trampoline net.  The little kid section of the park is slightly separated and full of bars to hang on to (for the new walkers).  But what sets this park apart from the rest is the pedaling carousel.  Powered by the riders, this carousel provides hours of entertainment as well as a great opportunity to practice cooperation skills.  Once the girls found the carousel they ignored the rest of the playground.  I didn't mind because it's covered with a shaded gazebo.  Just take heed, there are signs all over the place warning not to move the carousel any other way but to pedal.

Science Playground, Queens

Queens, N.Y. – Go down a rabbit hole into a wonderland unlike any other when the New York Hall of Science unveils a 30,000-square-foot preschool addition to the Science Playground on June 23. Shelter, mirrors, sand and music are just some of the new paths to discovery that visitors can choose from in the expanded exhibition.
“This rich and playful new addition will serve NYSCI's increasing number of family visitors with preschool-age children,” said Hall President & CEO Marilyn Hoyt. “Children of all ages can have fun while learning fundamental science that will serve them well as they grow into their school years through interactive experiences in the expanded Science Playground.”
