This is a great playground, with lots of opportunities for kids' play and lots of community for families. The Friends of Forest Hills Playground do a great job organizing events and taking care of ongoing issues. They just held their signature Halloween parade, in fact! I couldn't go but would love to hear about it from someone who went!

Varied play opportunities w tons of 'loose' toys that neighborhood kids have left for others to use and share. The space is consistently filled and gets utilized throughout the day. They also recently added new safety surfacing

Actually this playground is at the Forest Hills Park. Forest Hills is spelt with one "r" even though there is a sign on the tennis courts with 2 r's.
