Catch a glimpse of Pier 42 Upland Park from the FDR and you will want to pull over immediately.

Within the historic East Village park, there’s a brand-new playground with unique and challenging climbing structures, and a second playground with structures taller than almost all others – and tire swings!

Hanging out in Washington Square Park is always entertaining. The playgrounds are not the focus of this iconic New York City destination in Lower Manhattan, but they add to the experience.
