Betsy Head Memorial Playground

The Betsy Head Memorial Playground spans 1.5 acres within a 10-acre park, featuring interactive play structures, sports fields, and recreational facilities for children aged 2-12.

The park, established in 1915, became a central recreational space for Brooklyn residents, offering essential outdoor activities during the early 20th century urbanization.

The playground incorporates the Imagination Playground concept, enabling children to construct their play environments using oversized foam blocks, sand, and water features.

The facility includes accessible ramps encircling the central play area, maintaining the existing mature plane trees while providing safe pathways for visitors of all abilities.

Modern renovations introduced custom-designed play equipment with bridges, climbers, and slides, creating distinct zones for different age groups and physical development stages.
