👍👍 This playground is not big, yet probably the only one in NYC that has skyline view AND cherry blossom when in season. The okay structures are inclusive and can entertain kids at different ages and agility level. There are also sidewalks, fields, and dog park in the park and restaurants nearby so it'...

👍👍 Such a cute little park and waterfront promenade area! We're all in Quarantine now, but plenty of dogs out and a modest group of people enjoying the weather today. We tried to stay 6ft away from everyone. The dogs were having a party. Nice grass area, it's clean, and had a great view of NYC to the w...

👍 Hamilton Park playground was gut renovated just a few years ago. The playground itself is fantastic: swings, slides, monkey bars, picnic tables, you name it. Main issue: it gets super crowded around 2:30 pm, when neighborhood schools release the kids, and it stays crowded until about 6ish pm, 7ish,...

Ericsson Playground

😐 Its a nice size playground. You can play handball/racquetball, basketball with an open area to do whatever you want to do. Not the best park to come too but also not the worst. This is the playground to a school building that has three charter schools. There's a lot of kids/teenagers at this locatio...
