Can you help name a children's book about playgrounds?

Sometime in the 80s (or maybe early 90s) my grandparents had a children's book about different kinds of playgrounds. It described parks and playgrounds in the city and the country. One had water fountains, one had lots of space to run, one was small and didn't have any grass, one had a grill to cook on, etc. It was a picture book maybe 20 pages long or so. No one in my family could remember anything about it. I loved the illustrations and thought my son - who loves parks - would like it too.

Can you help name a children's book about playgrounds?
I have 2 possible suggestions.





Park book, The


Pictures by H. A. Rey (also illustrates the Curious George)


Author: Zolotow, Charlotte, 1915-


Harper and Row, copyright 1972, unpaged.





A mother describes a city park to her little boy who has lived in the country all his life.





At the playground


Author: Rockwell, Anne F.


New York, NY, USA: T.Y. Crowell, c1986, 14 p.





A little girl describes some of the things she sees and does at the playground. On board pages.





Hope you find the one you're looking for.
