Battery Playscape

This is an exceptional playground—the best and most captivating one we've explored in Manhattan. It offers an array of unique features, including rock climbing walls, a drawbridge, various steps and stairs, and an impressively long slide. The movable walls, water elements, and interactive audio-visual toys provide endless entertainment, ensuring the kids stay engaged for hours. With water fountains and plenty of refreshment stands conveniently nearby, it's easy to spend an entire afternoon here without missing a beat. A must-visit for families!

We visited Battery Playscape during a holiday weekend and were impressed by the creative design and attention to detail throughout the park. The 2-story curvy granite slide was a highlight, attracting kids that were lining up constantly for their turns. However, there are a few areas that could be enhanced potentially in future: - In outdoor play areas, safety, durability, weather resistance… features are always top priorities. But there are peeling materials, and in the play theater area dents and dimples are on the glued-on metal panels and a few have begun to fall off. - It’s a wonderful space for all ages, though it might be helpful to have the play areas labeled by age group. - There might be operational or maintenance reasons, but the water and sand area was completely dry, with no water available. - As the park is relatively new, it will take time for the natural shade to grow. But currently, it’s a bit challenging to be mostly exposed to the sun on hot days and finding shaded seating is also difficult.

Fun park with cool designs and slides that all of my children loved to run around in. Even my tween kids had fun at this park that is for all ages. The park is big, but gated so I think it could be fun for a toddler/preschooler but may be a bit stressful for moms/caregivers as it is pretty big and has lots of areas to disappear to. Nice huge bench for adults to sit on and take in the views.

Nestled within the heart of the city, Battery Playscape offers an electrifying escape for both children and adults alike. From the moment you step foot into this vibrant playground, you're enveloped in a world where imagination knows no bounds. The design of Battery Playscape is nothing short of remarkable. Every element, from the towering structures to the intricate pathways, is meticulously crafted to stimulate creativity and exploration. Battery Playscape is a shining example of innovative design and sustainable practices coming together to create a truly memorable experience. Whether you're a local looking for a weekend adventure or a tourist seeking something off the beaten path, Battery Playscape is guaranteed to leave you energized and inspired.

Beautiful play park at battery park area. I remember when I went on the Statue of Liberty and Ellis island tour w/my family in 2018 Mar. this area was being cleaned up for this park, so lovely to see that children and their families have somewhere to go in the city and play and explore. Love the clean lines and the cleanliness of the area. Ample seating. The puppet shows are a crowd attraction. NYC keep up with the imagination. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SPOT. I do my best to pop in when I’m in the area.
