Description
Set along the east side of Central Park, this play area features concrete paths, slides, and a sandbox. The space is well-suited for toddlers and younger children, though parents of babies may find fewer options. While the playground is popular, expect longer wait times for the swings. Just outside the gates, the surrounding park area offers open space to throw a ball or practice team sports.
