These #NYCParks-provided bikewashing stations, so convenient and useful on hot days! #BikeNYC

A NYC playground in full sun (there are kids there , but out of frame in the shade). There are 4 metal rings 7 ft tall spraying water for kids to run through. But the way they're aligned, it almost looks like a tiny car wash.

I was late to pick my daughter up from camp because #NYCParks closed a huge portion of Corona-Meadows Flushing Park. Apparently for some kind of music festival. There was, of course, no bike detour. The area has highways running through it, and the bridges over the highways are cordoned off. How do you get to

View from an overpass bridge sidewalk, showing a chain-link fence at the end completely blocking access to the park. In the background, trees and the big.. I don' t even know what they are, sculptures?
A sign for KeineMusik Soulection, saying "there will be restricted park access july 21st - july 31st to the following areas: skate park, festival grounds, ny state pavilion, garden of meditation, and surrounding areas. The map shows an area of the park bordered by the Long Island Expressway (a highway) on one side, the Grand Central Parkway (a highway) on another side.
A pedstrian overpass entrance, showing 3 offset chain-link fences close together so that you can barely fit a bike (or stroller/wheelchair, for that matter).
