    I sit here and break my fast before work. It is peaceful and quiet at 7 in morning. The park has just the type of atmosphere to get your mind straight right before work. I recommend it.

    Nice space for leisurely strolls. Very family-friendly with a playground for kids. I visited in the winter, when the park closes earlier than usual. The park attendant literally chased me and about 10 other people, including kids, out of the park.

    FANTASTIC PLAYGROUND FOR KIDS. With picnic tables and grass it is a great place for a family to relax in the hade. The playground is the kind with wood boats and ramps and things to climb. No plastic! I loved the flowers. To me they looked like something from Dr Suess

    Nice small park. Within walking distance of World Trade Center One. Park is smaller size than some parks, but peaceful. More for families with young children vs teenagers. No basketball court.

    We highly recommend this park. It offers nice views to the World Trade Center and the atmosphere in general is very special because it’s a small park.

    Just discovered ladybug day at WMP. Each year the park brings in ladybugs from California to use against aphids which are harmful to plant life here, instead of pesticides. They make it an educational event for all kids. I think they've been doing it for over 20 years. The volunteers who help with the ladybugs are incredibly helpful and my two daughters, ages 3 and 5, absolutely loved it. It's a fun time learning about nature for city kids. More please 😋

    The workers are friendly and do their jobs well especially ms. Laura. Park is always clean when she's here.

    Beautiful area of NYC, I was lucky enough to visit beginning of May when all the tulips are in bloom. A must is checking out the freshly painted Frank Ape figures on 7 separate picnic tables with a great view of World Trade Center. I loved my visit

    Decided to eat some take out brunch with my friends here and it was nice and clean. Great park to take kids or just chill with friends. The playground looked in great condition and overall the park was clean.

    Cool place in the heart of financial district. We found it when we were looking for toilets for our daughter and we found that park. It has huge play ground for kids

    Everything is in great condition including the bathrooms. Nice size green space too.

  • 5/5 Suzanne S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shaded park with playground, green space and a small bathroom. Love all the flowers they’ve planted, a really beautiful place!

  • 5/5 Jilmil R. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge space for kids of different ages to enjoy.

  • 5/5 Donella H. 3 years ago on Google
    The only thing this park lacks is swings. There are three sections of playground structures, geared towards kids of different sizes, a big grassy area for running around/picnicking, plenty of benches with and without tables and restrooms. During the summer the water is turned on for a fun water play area.

    Well maintained garden, book borrowing bin, decent tennis court (requires park tennis permit).

    Beautiful!

    Beautiful. A quiet neighborhood refuge. I only wish they allowed pets to also enjoy the space!
