  It's a lovely playground.:) Did you know there was a band named after this playground? "Marcy Playground", the band that did "Sex and Candy" and ,any other amazing songs? They actually wrote a song called "From the Marcy Playground.

  The lead singer of the band went to Marcy school and was frequently taunted and teased on the playground, so for whatever reason he decided to name the band after that. Hence the name Marcy Playground.
  I went to school at Marcy for eight years and, thus, played on this playground quite a bit. A very nice playground, recently remodled. The equipment can't be more than five years old.
