Pearl Street Playground is great for FiDi and Seaport families with little kids. And it’s a fun stopover playground when visiting the Seaport across the street.

With hanging wooden bridges, cargo-strap nets, a pedal-powered carousel, and plenty of shaded benches, the playground at Rockefeller Park is a gem on its own.

Climbing to the top of this playground’s huge, steep, slippery metal dome is one of the greatest playground challenges in New York City.
