A New Look for the Vanderbilt Playground

Windsor Terrace’s Vanderbilt Playground in Prospect Park (the entrance is at Vanderbilt and Prospect Park Southwest) may eventually look something like the model above, which the Prospect Park Alliance presented to the community last fall. The facility is slated to get a facelift within the next couple of years pending a lengthy city approval process, according to the Windsor Terrace Alliance. Among the proposed changes: The wooden climbing structure will be replaced with a structure made of bridges, cables and two slides; there will be a large dome made up of a web of ropes with a slide coming off it; and a 30 tall x 11′ long water wall will be created in the tots’ section. Construction on the project is likely to begin in spring 2009, and the Prospect Park Alliance will be presenting modified designs to the community next month.
