    The kids love the new climbing structures at this park. I love the views of the Trade Center building.

    A downtown playground with new play structures for different ages. Spacious and with a unbeatable view of Freedom Tower. There's no shade or covered space so could be a issue during the summer. Other than that a great place for kids to climb and run. There's a cafe right across the street to grab a coffee or quick bite.

    We walked by this park to get to the Battery Park, and we loved seeing all of the kids playing and the greenery. The community garden is also a fairly rare find in the city, and seeing a place for kids to hang out was great. It felt like a good amenity for this area to have, super welcoming and added life to the street.

    A small park with no bathroom available but it is great. My 5 year old loves the park. Sand area is fun beach like feel. The water area is fun to make mud and to cool off. There is a spider web climbing thing that is great and you watch a child get better each time. No swings.

    How was it? I don't know. Was only walking by. I took a photo of a piece of playground equipment and wondered how it would be used.

    Small and well kept park. It has artificial turf. Amazing view of the Freedom Tower. Shaded area with good seating. Was there for a baby party.

    Such a cool park for my 5 year old son to play and climb in the middle of our Manhattan day!!! Great place to sit down and rest while he was playing, on the way from Battery Park to WTC.

    Great playground for the kids with mini water spray. A hidden gem if it driving around manhattan and try to find parking.

    I have three young children so this park is great on weekends and after school/ daycare. It has some water features that are great in summer to cool of the kids. A lawn adjacent is great for older kids to play baseball, soccer, football and generally run around

    A great place for quiet walks along the Hudson river with gorgeous views of lady Liberty in the bay and the Jersey City skyline. At sunset the fire flies come out to try and outshine Jersey City.

    It's a nice park, morning to write home about lol but if you're in the area the kids will have fun.

  • 3/5 Liz J. 3 years ago on Google
    Park is nice but the sand pit is super deep . The climbing structure is also so steep and very open on top.

  • 5/5 Victor C. 1 year ago on Google
    Large park, with a field for kids, and water features.

  • 4/5 TSIO P. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean. Great place to bring children. The only downside is there's no restroom.
