MacArthur Playground
4.3 (59)park
This low-key Midtown playground features a toy-filled sandbox, climbing structures, and a water sprinkler.
Description




This playground provides a decent amount of space for the area, lined with plenty of benches and a few picnic tables. The setup includes a large slide, four swings (two for small kids), and an exercise structure suited for toddlers and up. While the grounds are generally kept very clean, the men's restroom is often left dirty due to heavy use by passing taxi drivers. Visitors should also expect noise from the nearby FDR Drive, and the area gets especially busy in the mornings and late afternoons.
