Tom Otterness Playground
A whimsical 30-foot bronze sculpture by celebrated artist Tom Otterness doubles as a fully functioning playground, with slides down the figure's legs and arm, a lookout tower in its head, and climbing elements throughout. The art-meets-play installation sits in a small public plaza sandwiched between Silver Towers apartment buildings near Hudson River Park. Notable for its artistic statement and the combination of visual fascination with active climbing and sliding.
