For budding kid architects (and the kid inside all of us), there’s a miniature playground version of the George Washington Bridge at J. Hood Wright Park in Washington Heights! A long jungle gym features two of the George Washington Bridge towers between a “suspension bridge” with its notable criss-cross steel design. Readers of Untapped Cities may remember that the bridge was supposed to be clad in stone, decorated in the Beaux Arts style, but the Depression ended that plan. In late fall and winter when the trees have lost their leaves, you can actually see the playground George Washington Bridge and the real one at the same time.
