🌳 A Morning Pause at Fort Tryon

Trade the street for a stone pavilion, a paved courtyard and dense trees at Anne Loftus Playground. At the northern end of Fort Tryon Park, retaining walls frame the fan layout designed by Olmsted Brothers. The playground opened in 1935.

Check the clock before heading uptown. Weekly hours are Monday through Sunday, 6 AM to 1 AM the next day. Inside, open space for games sits alongside play equipment, picnic tables and game tables. The spray shower plaza occupies the spot where a wading pool once stood.
