From MacArthur to Alice Kornegay: Cleaner Stops
Begin at MacArthur Playground's water sprinkler, continue to East River Playground's public restrooms, and finish beside Alice Kornegay Triangle's spray showers. The northbound line shows how small public-water features can shape a cleaner day outdoors.

Opening Hour
MacArthur Playground opens at 7 AM beside FDR Drive. Its compact setup includes a water sprinkler, benches, picnic tables, and a restroom that sees heavy use. Start with a quick facilities check, then use the surrounding play space as the route's first example of hygiene infrastructure meeting daily park life.
Mid-Route Pause
East River Playground sits at East 106th Street with a sprinkler and public restrooms near the waterfront play area. Reviews describe basic equipment and an aging esplanade. Treat the stop as a practical reset, keeping the visit focused on available facilities rather than a long recreational stay.
Upper Stop
Alice Kornegay Triangle pairs mature trees and seating with play equipment, handball courts, and cooling spray showers. Its namesake was a pioneering advocate for local social institutions. Close the route where water access meets community space, with the park's 7 AM to 6 PM schedule defining the useful window.
