Real Good Playground
Park · Rego Park, New York
A 1.598-acre NYC Parks playground along the Horace Harding Expressway service road, on 62nd Avenue between 99th Street and 102nd Street. It spans the Rego Park–Forest Hills line: NYC Parks' page for it prints two ZIP codes, 11374 and 11375, and the Department of City Planning's 2020 neighborhood boundary puts much of the ground on the Forest Hills side.
History
Its history sign reads: "The neighborhood Rego Park, where this property is located, takes its name from the Real Good Construction Company, which developed this area in 1920. 'Re' comes from Real, 'Go' comes from Good, hence Rego Park." The same sign continues: "In 1923, developers Henry Schloh and Charles Hausmann named the area."
