SOUTH BRONX?The David Rockwell-designed Imagination Playground down near the Seaport grabbed all the headlines this week, but the South Bronx has a proud tradition of getting cool under-the-radar play areas (see: Concrete Plant Park). Check out Printers Park, a new playground at Aldus Street and Hoe Avenue with equipment modeled after a rotary printing press. It pays tribute to Richard March Hoe, who patented the world's first "lightning press" and owned the land in the 19th century. Who says print is dead? [CurbedWire Inbox]
