St. Nicholas Park South seems to be the neighborhood hang out for kids and adults alike. We went around lunchtime and there were a lot of families unpacking coolers full of food. The girls had a lot of fun because unlike the last playground (the terribly dirty St. Nicholas North) there were other children here to play with. I especially liked the colorful hopscotch board (is that what you call it?). Annie and I had a good time throwing a penny on a number and then hopping over the spaces. We even tried hopscotching backwards! My biggest problem with this park is the litter. Although not nearly as bad as other playgrounds, I still strongly disapprove when I see Smirnoff Ice caps next to the swings.
