About a quarter of Thomas Greene playground has been fenced off so that National Grid can dig underneath the Parks Dept. facility and see how polluted it is. The playground sits on a site once occupied by the Fulton Manufactured Gas Plant. Most of the playground, which is off 3rd Avenue between Douglass and Degraw streets, is still open to the public, and yesterday workers were filling up its swimming pool.
