Playground 116 - Morningside Playground
4.5 (108)park
Tucked into Morningside Park, this soft, rubber-padded spot is built for toddlers, with slides and summer sprinklers.
Description




Designed with six months to five years old in mind, this scenic playground features swings, chess tables, and climbing setups. For children over five, the space is a tougher sell unless they are arriving with a playdate group. During hot months, the sprinkler play area mimics a mini water park. Maintenance reports are mixed: some visitors find the grounds tidy, while others suggest the paint and landscaping could use the same care seen in the rest of Morningside Park.
