    NYC Parents Awards

    Usually, we’re the ones telling people where to go. Turns out you’re pretty good at it, too. Presenting the results of our annual readers’ poll—your family’s favorite spots to nosh, splurge, play and soak up city life. Drumroll, please…

    Best playground: Imagination Playground, Prospect Park
    You’ll notice the absence of standard kiddie fare like seesaws, swings or slides. Instead, Prospect Park’s Imagination Playground encourages inventive play with fixtures like a bronze dragon statue that spews water instead of fire, a sculpture of a boy reading while reaching down to pet his dog, cutout animal masks that kids can set their faces in, and a stage with multiple platforms of different heights for little ones to play on. In the summer, programs including storytelling, plays, music and crafts are available. Ocean Ave between Lincoln Rd and Parkside Ave, Brooklyn (718-965-8951, prospectpark.org).

    Runner up
    Heckscher Playground Mid-West Central Park near 64th St (centralpark.org). Subway: A, B, C, D, 1 to 59th St-Columbus Circle.
