What was here before?
This playground is in Rego Park, a name derived from the Real Good Construction Company, which developed the neighborhood in the 1920s. The area was named by developers Henry Schloh and Charles I. Hausmann in 1923. Before the area was developed, it was farmland owned by Chinese immigrants. These Chinese farmers grew produce strictly for sale in Chinatown. In the 1920s, the Rego Construction Company bought out the farmers and built one-family row houses, multi-family houses, and apartment buildings.
