The Henry M. Jackson Playground sits just barely outside our coop’s boundary, across Jackson Street from Fine Fare and behind the old public school-turned-upscale condos (someday) on Madison Street.

There’s a wide-open space for basketball, a great urban mural, handball, and other playground equipment — all of which, apparently, due for an upgrade as part of the Community Parks initiative recently announced by the de Blasio administration.

The NYC Parks Department is looking for community input to help redesign and renovate the playground and facilities; an open meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 7 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Manny Cantor Center, 197 East Broadway, 6th floor.
