The P.S. 19 community playground is open

The official opening of the revamped playground at P.S. 19 on First Avenue between 11th Street and 12th Street took place this past Tuesday morning.

There were several comments on the post about whether this playground will actually be open to the community (as billed) ...

The playground was open this morning at 8 a.m. (you enter on the 12th Street side) ... and there were several people inside...



For now, the sign promises community hours of 6-9 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends. Those weekday hours will likely change after school ends for the summer next week...



Among other amenities, the playground features a synthetic turf field, a painted track, play equipment, a basketball court and an all-weather ping-pong table.
