Mathews-Palmer Playground

Opens Sunday at 7:00 AM

Hell's Kitchen, New York

"quiet park in a busy city"
Climbing train is a kid favorite
Mural appeared in 1988 music video

This Hell's Kitchen playground carries serious history: a mural from Paul Simon's "Me and Julio" video and the legacy of two women who fought to create green space here. Today it's a surprisingly calm spot with a climbing train, water sprinklers, and enough equipment to tire out any toddler.
