Kid Completes Rare Playground Hat-Trick
Trifecta of E. Chinatown, West-Side Pier, and Bleecker St. playgrounds shows weird variety of Manhattan parenting styles
Chinatown: most laissez-faire approach to child management; sometimes not apparent if parents are even present. Greatest variety of play equipment.
Bleecker Street: most hover-y. Parents deeply invested in toy equity. One Google dad ignoring his children. Scooter junkyard. One rusty trampoline.
West Side Pier: playground least welcoming to outsiders. Ideal vantage point to see white privilege take root. Nice squishy play surface.
