This playground isn't just named for Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, it's the place he played as a child. Sorry, no brass monkeys, but you should look out for the bear sculptures ! Read more

Bring/find some chalk and write down your favorite Beastie Boys lyric in honor of MCA. “See I’ve got heart like John Starks / hitting mad sparks / pass me the mic and I’ll be rocking the whole park .”

Surprised to see it's a childrens' playground . Good for the kids I guess! Ask for Janice.
