Vanderbilt Playground gives Windsor Terrace families a free spot to play, with structures sized for young children. Transfer platforms and ground-level play pieces give kids with limited mobility ways to get onto and around the equipment. On hot summer days the spray showers switch on, and kids run through the water to cool off.
