Battery Playscape in The Battery is one of the most unique playgrounds in NYC, featuring towering 18-foot granite slides, elevated treehouse-style play structures, and a massive sand-and-water play zone at the southern tip of Manhattan.

At Sol Lain Playground, we smiled at the surprising details: lots of apples, swaying grasses, unusual rope features, and more.

Big kids especially will find opportunities to hang, climb and swing at the Hester Street Playground.

Climb, hang, and spin at this corner neighborhood playground, and enjoy many treats nearby.

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!
