De Burgos Park - Playground

Description

This park, named for Latin American poet Julia de Burgos, features just two pieces of playground equipment and a play sculpture that are connected to a theme of nature and bugs in particular. The sculpture is a spider and the large net climbing feature - the focal point of the park - resembles a spider web. The other play element is a climbing structure shaped like a butterfly. The setting is wonderful; this park is an access point to the Bloomingdale Trail (aka "The 606") and there is a painted mural on the embankment titled "Rompeolas: Homage to Julia de Burgos" that is worth checking out. There are benches and a drinking fountain. This isn't your traditional playground but it's definitely worth checking out; highly recommend.
