Hoover Playground

Located a block north of Queens Blvd, this park has it all for folks young and old.
The fact that the bathroom was open for business upon my entering the blacktop clad recreation area, tells me this is a haven for NYC Parks Department employees. I sense water fountains working, garbage stoed and removed with regularly.
The benches I counted could comfortably sit fifty, stone tables that second as a place to eat, or more likely, whose primary use is that of a chess board.
There may be a sprinkler system set up for the hot days of summer in the city, for the kiddos sake I hope I’m right.
Extending outside if the enclosed gated area sit a few benches under tall maple trees, where a view of the Van Wyke can be had, not my personal viewing pleasure. Begging squirrel count totalled eight. Eight begging squirrels that come up to you, perch upon their rear legs, hands fixed together. Cute little buggers they are.
