Adam Yauch Park is a peaceful oasis in Brooklyn under a highway on-ramp, kids play basketball and ride their scooters in the sunshine. Adam Yauch aka MCA, grew up here, playing in this playground and learning to ride his bike. The formerly named Palmetto Playground was renamed Adam Yauch Park to mark the one-year anniversary of his passing on May 4th.

“Born and bred in Brooklyn the U.S.A./
They call me Adam Yauch but I’m M.C.A.”
