Adam Yauch Park

Description

Named after the late Adam Yauch (the Beastie Boy known as MCA), this small neighborhood park is the same he grew up playing in—he even learned to ride a bike there. Back then it was named State Street Park; it later became Palmetto Playground. Today, Beasties fans and everyone else come to enjoy the slides and swings.
