Hester Street playground

Where?

Hester Street playground as it is today is the work of the local community over an entire year, having been renovated from a dilapidated, borderline-dangerous park into a very popular playground where children go every day to have fun. There is also an open square and a pair of handball courts in this park. Photo from this Time Out NY article.
