  abstract: In New York's Central Park, some of the playgrounds constructed as part of the midcentury experimental "playground revolution" still remain. Marie Warsh tells the engrossing history of these playscapes built in the 1960s and 1970s, exploring their connections to the art, recreational design, urbanism, grassroots movements and child-development theories of the period. She further details the Central Park Conservancy's efforts decades later to preserve and renew these playgrounds for contemporary use.
