Hippo Playground

Open

Upper West Side, New York

"probably our favorite playground in the city"
Bring swimsuits for the hippo sprinklers
Bug spray recommended for mosquitoes

Climb on giant hippo sculptures and splash through water features at this beloved riverside playground. Shaded by tall trees with swings, slides, and a sandbox, it's a local favorite for escaping the city heat.
