Crispus Attucks Playground is a park that is not too far from where I live in Brooklyn. My son had a birthday party here and I was glad to spend so much time here, learning about the park and curating interviews with those involved in this project. I hope you can learn something about the history of this space and the value parks and open spaces have for every New
Yorker.
