Excellent! We went 2pm on a Thursday in late Aug and it was perfect. Clean, great crowd, we’ll behaved kids playing. Shade, seating, close to the zoo and 70th street entrance. Love the sprinklers, climbing, swings, sand pit. My fav playground in Manhattan
It's such a cute, small but versatile park. My kids loved going down the natural slide and playing in water. I loved the fact that it's fenced so I can relax while they played.
Google said its open
And today I brought my kid and the playground is close
Update!!! Park open around 8am
The playground is an amazing natural experience for the kids

Decent playground with some kid activities. This playground definitely is better for smaller children- older kids get bored pretty quick.
One of our favorite playgrounds on east side. Summer the water park gets kids very very wet. Concrete slide, swings, and play gym are well designed for few different age levels. Can get crowded. Bridge in middle csn make it hard to keep eyes on running toddlers at all time. No sandbox.
What a beautiful park made with wood structures and stone steps so it is a natural and serene setting for parents and care givers with multiple play areas for kids. The park was unusually quiet the day we visited plus it is small so that made it easy for the kids to run around and us able to keep up with them. The park has a lot of shaded areas and landing areas are soft and covered in sand so not too rough on little ones knees. My kids (ages 5 & 9) gave it 5 stars!
This is one of our favorite parks in New York it’s beautiful and very unique.
It has a kiosk for a little sitting area.
It has a water feature.
It has a little climbing feature with nets.
It has swings entire swings.
But the main attraction is the rockslide. It has a lot a large one and a little one the kids can slide on and it’s made out of stone.
Our kids always want to come to this part. It is located on the east side of the park about 1/3 from the south.

Absolutely amazing playground.
This place is insane. It has everything you could possibly want. An amazing climbing structure all in wood and ropes. A really tall rock slide that seems to come down from the mountain. A shaded pergola that runs through the middle providing shade. Several swings and sprinklers.
Everything is in great shape too.
The place is great for kids all ages (even for 32 year old kids like me).
The only thing missing is a restroom.
Did I mention the place is beautiful? There are very nice plants all around, and everything is built in wood.
The craziest thing is that there are entire cities that do not have a playground as cool as this one, yet Billy Johnson Playground is not even the best playground in this park.
