This spectacular Park, located on the east side of Eleventh Avenue one block away from the waterfront, includes a massive sports field, a basketball court, and a dog run that was named “Best of New York” by New York magazine in 2005. And then there is the almost whimsical playground, where children can climb, spin, rock and experiment with intricate equipment while parents and caregivers relax under playful shade umbrellas. The equipment is manufactured by Kompan, a Danish company that specializes in the creation of unique play environments.
