Bathroom and water notes

For younger kids, the practical questions come first: how you are getting there, where the bathroom backup is, and whether another nearby playground is closer to the rest of the day.

Choose Kennedy King when the neighborhood location is convenient. If you are comparing playgrounds from outside East Flatbush, look at Brooklyn pages with clearer bathroom or water-play advantages.
