Central Park's Rumsey Playfield

Description

This spacious playfield—named after the sister of late New York Governor Averell Harriman—is used mainly for school sports, but it’s also home to Summerstage, which offers free musical concerts every year. The entrance is guarded by two small sculptures by Victor Frisch called “Snow Babies.”
