JFK Playground in DC
JFK Playground in DC. “a cross between Disneyland and an alfresco Smithsonian, with tanks, jet planes, a tugboat, a fire engine with slides, an 1870 locomotive and swings and seesaws.” built in 1964 to serve 10,000 children in the neighborhood who "had virtually no recreational outlets at the time." Project by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy & designed by John Carl Warnecke
