Toll Family Playground — Attraction in New York

When it was the Mariners playground (before the renovation) this was the best one, with 3 stations for kids, one good for very young kids, another for 3-5 year olds, and a bigger one for older kids.

This is a clear winner over nearby Diana Ross Playground. It is a great option after visiting the American Museum of Natural History. You can enter from 85th or 81st and climb the path over...

Update: saw more than a fair share of rats on this playground. Minus 2 stars. Original four star review follows:

The place is fairly large, but it does not have the typical playground games. It has some swings, a sandbox, a climbing structure and sprinklers, but it also has several seesaws, two 'houses' with walls kids can paint and some other structures.

There are no restrooms here nor nearby.

There is no soft ground, and the place seems due for an upgrade, but it is a very...
