Tompkins Square Park (Avenue B)

Avenue B and 7th St

I don't have much to say about this playground, except that out of the three in Tompkins Square Park this one is the worst. Old and severely chipped, no shade on the equipment, and a fake tire swing all account for this park's low rating.  Honestly, this park feels forgotten. Honestly, I won't mind forgetting this park exists.
