Tom Otterness Playground

Apparently, Tom Otterness' amazing sculptures aren't just in the subway stations and south waterfront, but also in a playground in Hell's Kitchen! Playground (fitting name...) is huge bronze sculpture of an elongated figure lounging in a tiny park a block from the Hudson river in Mid-town Manhattan.The legs double as two slides and the head is the top of a ladder through the body of the creation!
It was so cool to see toddlers whizzing down the legs and climbing all over the big hands and feet. Playgrounds are a key part of a city and this one sure is whimsical!
