Book Synopsis
In New York's Central Park, some of the playgrounds constructed as part of the midcentury experimental “playground revolution” still remain. Marie Warsh tells the history of these playscapes built in the 1960s and ‘70s, exploring their connections to the art, recreational design, urbanism, and child-development theories of the period.
