- Large water play area with sprinklers and raised platforms with water channels. Great for the kids to run around on a hot day. Located near the Carousel, too.
Benjamin HealyFebruary 25, 2017Great playground with slides, ramps, bridges, sandbox, cushioned play areas and water play in the summer.
Dushyant BalasubramaniJuly 16, 2018A fantastic hangout place for kids. Lots of play opportunities. Carry a towel & change of clothes for your kid.
Christina LouiseJuly 22, 2022Huge playground, including large sandpit, two sprinkler sections, turf grass and restrooms.

Chris KennedyAugust 16, 2019Bring a towel and a change of clothes for your child as they are going to get wet.
Horrified that so many people are too damn lazy to clean up after themselves & throw away their garbage; great way to be a positive role model on your children
Lots of swings and cement. The biggest but probably worst playground in Central Park
Andrew SansoneOctober 31, 2009The playground is north of the 7th Avenue entrance off Central Park South. It's large and relatively new with many activities for kids.- I hop the fences and go here all the time, sometimes at 2am. I'm not a child molester, I just like to swing.
Clara AppiaJanuary 10, 2013Back in my day there were no metal gaurd rails. Clearly we lived life in the edge back in the late 90's early 00's
John GaltOctober 13, 2013Sunday Times, a double macchiato and a walk through Central Park. Where else would I rather be.
Sage CroftMarch 20, 2012Decent bathrooms for men, women, boys, and girls (four separate facilities).
