Set in Bay Ridge, Owl's Head Park Playground is a neighborhood spot where children climb, explore and play with friends. Ramps lead up onto the play equipment and there are swings designed for children with disabilities, so more kids can join in. On hot summer days the spray showers switch on, and kids run through the water to cool off.
