West End Park — Attraction in New York

One of the nicest playgrounds around: lots of space in a well walled area, several big pieces of equipment for children, trees, a few benches, and even sprinklers on the wall.

Things to know: The playground and park are managed by West End Towers (75 West End Avenue, right across the street); they do a great job at maintaining it and they turn the wall sprinklers on on hot days (if it’s really hot, make sure your kid can get wet) During the morning, several groups from nearby schools come by for some 30 minutes each; it’s great if you want your kids to interact with others Every Tuesday at 10:30ish there is a music class There are no public...

Great place for shade and a quiet location in the midst of West End Ave. In the past, the park would reek of dog feces but people seem to clean after themselves. Often times you can see kids around the age of 3-12 rooming around the playground with there babysitters. There is a monkey bar, pull up bar, slide set, water fountain, and open areas for sports....

This park stinks VERY badly of (dog) urine and excrement. Dog owners / walkers, the kids don't have much option for places to play, The schools only have this park as an option. The kids can only walk so far. Take your dog's elsewhere or don't own a dog.

The children's area is padded and gated and fine, but need to bring attention to the awful smell...
