Large water play area with sprinklers and raised platforms with water channels. Great for the kids to run around on a hot day. Located near the Carousel, too.

Lots of swings and cement. The biggest but probably worst playground in Central Park

Back in my day there were no metal gaurd rails. Clearly we lived life in the edge back in the late 90's early 00's
