Lots of space, but few attractions except for a sandpit, slide, a few obstacle courses, spiderweb for infants and four swings for babies. The park is surrounded by benches.
It was a nice little playground, easy to get to from the street where you don’t have to walk too far into Central Park. There is sand so beware if that’s an issue for the kids. There are many things to play on but it was just enough with lots of bench seating. Seems to be a less crowded part of the park too which is nice
So I'm normally pretty easy to please with places, but the only actual thing I liked about this playground was how close it was from one of the entrances to Central Park.
Being from California and visiting New York for the first time, I was pretty sad to experience this playground like we did.
One of the kids got a whole bunch of sand in my son's eye, and we ran out of water trying to get it out. My husband ran to the water fountain for more (wasn't working) and then walked out to find a bathroom. No where near us at all. Thankfully another witness gave him her water bottle to help. But the fact that it's a playground for kids and there's no bathrooms near by is a pretty big bummer to me. For potty emergencies for the Littles and in cases like this where we needed water for my sons eyes.
The playground itself was decent, but even my kids said they've enjoyed better elsewhere. But the 3 stars is for the non working fountain and the location with the bathroom. Location to enter was good, but the bathroom is more important when you got kids and, well, playground are for kids.

Tons of sand, limited play structures, skews more to the younger kids going on toddlers. It does have an always-on water feature, which is a plus.
I feel safe to bring my children here - 3 years old and 7 years old. They playng for hours. A lot of benches for parents to sit also
Cute little playground for kids all ages.
Right in the middle there are several interconnected wooden climbing structures, all built over sand. There are some sprinklers on the north and a few swings on the east. All the sand is nice, but I prefer the soft material newer playgrounds use. Sand always feels less hygienic. Also, I would like to see soft ground on the outside of the very large sanded area. My kid likes to go barefooted on the sand, but then ends up running barefooted on hard asphalt.
There are no restrooms. There is plenty of shade.
It is a nice playground, nothing to special. I would not travel to get here, but I would be happy if this was my neighbourhood's playground.
