    This playground is in Soho. Its quite small. There are some swings for younger children, a relatively large jungle gym for older children and a few benches in between the swings and the jungle gym. There is also a small outdoor pool. Its presumably open in the summer months. Its close to the subway. Street parking is very difficult to find.

    It's probably pretty nice when is completely open, but when I finally made a trip over, it's half closed off for construction. And from what I could tell, MOST of the interactive playset is closed off. Nice sprinkler area though.

    Great city playground with large play structure (for both toddler and older children), good quality swings, a water play area, bathrooms, picnic tables, and a public pool.

    For kids, it seems like a nice, clean, safe playground that can keep you occupied for an hour or two. For adults, it looks like a great place to meet some hot mommas.

    7/26/20: half the playground (the shaded part) is boarded up. Looks like construction in the neighboring building. Hopefully not permanent.

    Found this interesting park in SoHo area, where we took our 8 year old to play. Very disappointed with the fact that the restrooms were closed. The park had some fun playground games and comfortable seats.

    Clean, quiet playground with nice swings, slides and things to climb on. One call out: there are several cutouts in the climbing equipment where young children could easily fall.

  • 2/5 Monique G. 1 year ago on Google
    Pool was not clear, it was very cloudy. Parks Dept or whom ever was in charge of the rotation of ppl exiting and entering when it's due time to do so. Did not pay attention to the ppl asked to exit the pool so the other ppl waiting could enter. Being that the 3ft pool has a limit of 34 ppl. More attentiveness from staff would be appreciated.

    I'm a messenger and I occasionally use the public restroom at Vesuvio playground. If it isn't a homeless person washing up inside, it's a bunch of school kids hanging out inside smoking weed. Needs better management. I don't take kindly to kids who may be jeopardizing their futures telling me to go somewhere else when my hard earned tax money goes to maintaining it.

  • 5/5 Amy L. 4 years ago on Google
    My two-year-old loved this park! The swing set is very nice (seems new), and the play structure is really fun! It's a large set of bridges/ramps, with several slides, which kept him very active for a long time (yes!). In the summer, there's also a pool!

    Good playground, but the restrooms we're dirty.

  • 5/5 Matthew H. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice little park in Soho for young kids and families. Pool and fountains too!
