This playground, opened in 1958, is named in honor of Johann Gutenberg (c. 1397Α1468), the German pioneer in the field of printing who is widely regarded as the European inventor of movable type. Since 1959 the playground has been jointly operated by Parks and the Department of Education. The smooth paved surface provided a favorite roller hockey spot for National Hockey League allΑstars Brian and Joey Mullen, whose childhood home was across the street from the playground. A renovation of the playground in 2001 added a new handball court, benches, pavement, fencing, and plantings.
