What was here before?
As late as 1929, this site was occupied by Cornelius Suydam’s farm, which included a wood frame house. It was later occupied by privately-owned tennis courts, handball courts, and a field house.
How did this site become a playground?
The City of New York acquired the land for this playground in 1948. When it opened on October 2, 1950, this Brooklyn playground was the 532nd in the New York City Park system. It featured a tot play area and sports courts for older children, as well as a large free-play area that provided a space for roller skating or ice skating depending on the season.
