John Jay Park

Open

Upper East Side,聽New York

"the best place for kids to be free"
"Perfect for Short Walks" (MixyPaws)
Bring your own net and balls for pickleball

This compact East River park packs a punch: a 145-foot Olympic pool open all summer, tennis and pickleball courts, and a playground that local kids adore. It's the Upper East Side's low-key backyard, perfect for a quick game or letting little ones run wild while you watch the water.
