Tom Otterness Playground

"It’s hard to top other playgrounds in terms of whimsy, but Tom Otterness Playground in Chelsea trumps them all in terms of turning an art piece into a play structure. Built in the form of a sitting man, this playground offers spots for climbing, swinging and sliding that your tykes will love. Did we mention it’s also a great photo opportunity? If you’re in search of more of the artist’s famous works? Head over to the 14th St Subway Station to see his work “Life Underground,” a collection of bronze sculptures."
