What we cannot tell you
No source in our data records restrooms, the age range the equipment suits, which equipment is installed, opening hours.
A missing detail means nobody has mapped it yet — not that the playground lacks it. If you know the answer, adding it to OpenStreetMap fixes it for every map at once, or you can send us a correction.
Is this playground open to the public?
The evidence in our sources:
- Mapped with access=yes, meaning open to the public
- Operated by New York City Department of Parks and Recreation
- Inside Central Park, mapped as a public park
Evidence is not a guarantee. Park hours, seasonal closures, building work and local rules can all apply, and a playground inside a public park can still be closed on the day you arrive.
