EDITORS COMMENTS
Joy and excitement fill the air at Carnegie Playground in New York City's Upper East Side as children gather to play a game of basketball on this sunny day in May 1911. The playground, located at the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 91st Street, was a popular destination for kids from all over the city. This photograph captures a moment of pure joy and camaraderie among friends as they take turns shooting hoops under the watchful eyes of their peers.
Taken by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's news service in May 1911, this black-and-white image is a testament to the power of play and recreation in bringing people together. The photograph also provides a glimpse into life during an era when children were encouraged to spend time outdoors, fostering creativity, social skills, and physical activity.
This historic snapshot not only showcases the vibrant energy of childhood but also highlights the importance of community spaces like Carnegie Playground that brought people from all walks of life together.
