Manhattan Riverside Drive Playground Open From 7 AM

Give the children a turn at setting the New York agenda. River Run Playground puts a playground stop along Riverside Drive, with outdoor play as the reason to pause between the other things on your list. Choose it as a destination in its own right, or make room for it while planning a day out with the family.

Local families and visitors both gather here. That mix makes this park a place to meet up as well as a tourist attraction, whether your group already knows the city or is getting acquainted with it. Bring your own crew together and give everyone a stretch of the day away from the next errand.

The playground is open daily from 7 AM to 6 PM. Plan an early start or an afternoon stop, and leave time for the children to finish playing before you head onward together.
