Not great, not terrible. Has a good variety of features for both toddlers and bigger kids, and they are well separated. Plenty of benches for grown ups. The sandpit is dirty, but all of them are. My biggest gripes are 1) big ungated areas that kids can wander out into 2) half the water features haven’t worked in years and 3) almost zero shade, which is actually a hard thing to do for a playground built within a park with no shortage of tall trees. Anyway, it’s fine but needs a refresh like the one they gave JJ Byrne on 5th ave and 4th st. That’s the top tier playground in park slope
