"How was it? I don't know. Was only walking by. I took a photo of a piece of playground equipment and wondered how it would be used."

"Such a cool park for my 5 year old son to play and climb in the middle of our Manhattan day!!! Great place to sit down and rest while he was playing, on the way from Battery Park to WTC."

"A downtown playground with new play structures for different ages. Spacious and with a unbeatable view of Freedom Tower. There's no shade or covered space so could be a issue during the summer. Other than that a great place for kids to climb and run. There's a cafe right across the street to grab a coffee or quick bite."

"I have three young children so this park is great on weekends and after school/ daycare. It has some water features that are great in summer to cool of the kids. A lawn adjacent is great for older kids to play baseball, soccer, football and generally run around"
