Playground Eighty Nine LXXXIX West 89th Street, Manhattan, New York 10024

"This playground is more for older kids ..... no swings and a couple of slides"

"Awesome, great environment, especially after school, but the environment is not for everybody, it is basically multiple school's kids that all go after school, especially on Fridays. The adults are so nice when a kid gets hurt. I have seen like 15 adults instantly help a kid, some with first aid, and some with helping find the child's adult; The other children try and help too, the adults always set that good example, but also good job kids for helping. If you need a break from the chaos, there is usually an ice cream truck and icees on the corner of Amsterdam. Or you could go to the peaceful garden across the street, that is also a common destination after school for some people, but not too many. Some kids at the school 166 help out with the garden too, in a fenced off area near the Geneva playground (with is not quite as good, and smaller too). Not well known fact: the gym inside is the same size as the playground(when it's not under construction). Also, there is always a soccer game happening (idk how to explain the exact spot where it is, but it is basically at the back when you enter and look forward). The only thing is that even though there is a very. high fence, the ball sometimes goes over. There are plants on half of the perimeter of the playground too, it is an interesting spot. Finally, the jungle gym is awesome, and it is very clean, with great climbing spots. Great school, and great playground overall, Im speaking from experience!"

"A spacious playground with a dated play structure. About half of the playground is empty and people play balls here. The function is minimal and lacks of a purposeful design. This playground could really be benefited from a renovation."
